Gum Leaf Guild Blocks MotoGP Plans | Adelaide News
Description
A defiant group calling themselves the ‘Gum Leaf Guild’ has pitched tents in Adelaide’s historic Pakapakanthi olive grove, blocking construction for the MotoGP event they say will destroy ancient trees. Led by former Citizen of the Year Mij Tanith — labeled a “ragtag extremist” — they’re prepared to physically stop bulldozers using non-violent civil disobedience. With basic facilities and community support, they’re calling this just the start of a larger movement. But the Adelaide City Council stands firm: camping and fires are banned in parklands, and state officials confirm managing illegal camps falls under their jurisdiction — while also hinting at looming political shifts as the council seeks clarity on potential state takeover of parklands.
