!! This film provides examples of the following tropes:
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Although most of the tenants are sympathetic to Kate's cause, one older resident berates her and the other protestors as idiots and showoffs in a television news interview.
* CommunityThreateningConstruction: Houseman and the other developers plan to bulldoze a block of terraced houses and kick out the tenants and squatters living there in order to build high-end apartments in their place.
* DirtyCop: The Sydney police are suggested to be in cahoots with the Eden Project developers, having enabled them to carry out their assassination of Kate.
* IntrepidReporter: The protagonist Kate Dean is an investigative reporter and community activist who, in addition to protesting the construction of the Eden Project, is looking into the shady dealing of the project's developers. For this, [[HeKnowsTooMuch they plan to eliminate her]].
* MeaningfulName: The leading developer of the housing project is named Houseman.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Kate gives one during one of her protests, calling out Houseman and the other "arseholes" for their uncaring attitudes towards the neighbourhood's working-class residents.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: The tenants and squatters occupying the old houses refuse to be bullied into being evicted from the property.
* ThisIsWhatTheBuildingWillLookLike: We briefly see a model of how the new block of flats is supposed to look.
* UpperClassTwit: Houseman and the other developers generally come across this way, being completely uncaring towards the tenants occupying the houses he intends to demolish to make way for his high-end apartments.
