Down on the Block in Redfern, they're calling it an act of \"social cleansing\" the eviction of Aboriginal people. But they will be evicted on the orders of other Aboriginal people. <\/p>\n
Michael Mundine, chief executive officer of the Aboriginal Housing Company, says he will initiate the removal of the Redfern Aboriginal Tent Embassy erected on Sorry Day in May last year if its members do not go voluntarily on Monday. <\/p>\n
\"They're on Aboriginal Housing Company Land,\" Mr Mundine told Fairfax Media. \"It is private land and they're trespassing.\" <\/p>\n
