Vic: Park protest continues after chilly Easter

Aboriginal protesters in Melbourne's Kings Domain have endured a chilly Easter without
tents or blankets.

Camp spokesman ROBERT COROWA says last night was uneventful .. after a showdown with
police on Saturday night which saw a campfire extinguished.

Mr COROWA says the protesters weren't allowed tents .. blankets or fire to keep warm.

He says police had been racist when they put out a campfire made from a sacred fire.

The group's been at the site since March 12 .. when they met to protest against the
Commonwealth Games.
