In Adelaide, a passionate crowd gathered beneath a banner strung up outside of Pilgrim Uniting Church on Flinders Street. The words ‘Solidarity with Pacific neighbours: Fossil fuel treaty now’ sent a loud, clear message. Kaurna Elder Uncle John Lochowiak, head of the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry in Adelaide, launched proceedings with a moving Welcome to Country, followed by a blessing and speech by Pilgrim Uniting Church Minister Reverend John Hughes.
