Zelt-Botschaft
On 26 January 1972 a number of Aboriginals set up tents and signs in protest about Aboriginal rights and called the assemblage the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. In early 1973, the rise of global terrorism in Australia - a particular concern of the new Whitlam government - resulted in considerable angst for the security situation at Parliament. At this time the Prime Minister's office was fitted with bulletproofed glass.
