Summary
Adelaide’s parklands are at the heart of a fierce public battle, as a petition against tree-felling for a golf course redevelopment nears 10,000 signatures—triggering a potential parliamentary probe. Adding fuel to the fire, legendary Aussie musician John Schumann has dropped a new protest anthem, “Ragtag Extremist Blues,” blasting the government for “appropriating” public land for events like MotoGP. Inspired by the Premier’s label of protesters as “ragtag extremists,” Schumann calls them just ordinary citizens defending their city’s green spaces. All proceeds from the song go to the Adelaide Park Lands Association, with a live debut set for August 29th. Meanwhile, the government defends the plans as election promises backed by public support, claiming they’ll boost tourism and state assets.
