Good Evening. This is ABC News. I'm Jefferson Dufflecoat.

The Adelaide Parklands tent city this evening has become the focus of the continuing homeless protests going on around many parts of the nation as Adelaide City Council Workers and South Australian Police moved to enforce a move on order issued by the Adelaide City Council last Thursday.

This afternoon at Midday Adelaide Time. South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas issued a statement declaring that the approximately 1200 protestors that had gathered on the encouragement of Mayo MP Slow-Passenger-1542, Hotham MP Model-Trurl and Country Labor Party Politician ContrabannedTheMC were "Intentionally engaging in conduct that obstructs the free passage of a public place", thus activating the South Australian state government's protest laws, which allow protesters to be arrested and face fines of up to fifty thousand dollars and three months imprisonment.

At 4pm local time. Adelaide City Council Workers moved in, accompanied by approximately 200 members of the SA Police's Security Response Section team, where they were met by mostly non-violent but strong resistance from protesters who had constructed barricades, chained themselves to the tents of the homeless sleeping in the park and formed a protective circle around the homeless to deny workers the opportunity to move the homeless on.

As of the time ABC News goes to air, there have been over 30 arrests amidst sporadic clashes between protestors and police, however at this time the Tent City remains standing and an uneasy calm has descended over the Parklands as Council Workers have seemingly given up on moving the tent city on this evening. However a spokesperson for Adelaide City Council told ABC News that it is still the councils intention to move the tent city on and that Workers would return to try again tomorrow.

It is not believed that the three politician ringleaders are amongst those arrested and many protesters have indicated they will be spending the night at the Parklands to ensure there is no surprise movement against the tent city overnight.

Despite posters distributed across social media and other places attributed to maverick New South Wales Senator TheSensibleCentre, no firearms were found at the protest site. Australian Federal Police and Customs Officials intercepted a crate that was marked as being delivered from the senators residence at Sydney Airport, however when opened the crate was found to hold 100 Pink Hello Kitty Super Soaker rifles and a subsequent search of the senator's offices found no firearms and the entire situation is now believed to have been a bluff. No charges are expected to be laid against the senator.

Elsewhere, in Victoria Animal Justice Upper House MP Georgie Purcell unveiled plans for a private members bill inspired by social media posts made by Country Labor Politician ContrabannedTheMC to turn long unoccupied commercial spaces in the Melbourne CBD into emergency accommodation for the cities homeless population. The bill is expected to be introduced to the state's upper house during the next sitting term but is widely expected to be defeated.

In Canberra, talks continue between representatives of the homeless tent city in the Seguna Community Park and the Prime Minister and staff from her office, a representative for the PM's office told ABC News that talks were progressing well but there were still things to work out to ensure the homeless people of Australia were getting the best possible outcome and recognition from the government.
