In short: Police have given university students at an on-campus Gaza solidarity encampment a deadline of midday tomorrow to leave or risk further action, including arrests.

The Australian National University also issued a directive to students to leave, saying the encampment posed "serious safety concerns".

What's next? Protest activity has died down and students are considering the deadline.

UPDATE

In case anyone was wondering, students voted to move the location of the encampment so that ANU management can't use the emergency assembly point thing as an excuse to break up the encampment anymore. Post about it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7fgCS8Ph-o/
