its not the first time they kick people off the land in Redfern..
From Wikipedia:
"The notorious Redfern Mail Exchange was built in 1965, after 300 people were evicted from their homes on the 2.15 hectare site. It became the scene of many industrial disputes when the automatic mail-sorting machinery which was supposed to sort efficiently, actually destroyed many letters. It became known as the Redfern Mangler."

Valid, but the creation of work through urban consolidation is quite different to the reclaiming of land purely for gentrification in the sense of replacing the socially disadvantaged with yuppies.
I think that the increasing lack of affordable housing in present times coupled with rising land prices is going to force young people like ourselves away from the inner city suburbs if we ever try to purchase the property we live in ... rather than forking out >(min)$150/week to landowners that are already wealthy.
And talking about history you can't forget 1788 for the first precedent....
