Budget Day ‘carkoi’ protests delayed traffic on Auckland and Tauranga motorways ahead of a hikoi on Parliament.

Protesters earlier took the roads to oppose government policies toward Māori, ‘activating’ for today’s National Māori Action Day - and caused traffic delays around the country.

It’s the second time Māori have mobilised on a national scale with the first hīkoi taking place last December.

The national protest coincides with today’s budget announcements.

    How can they claim it’s not borrowing to fund tax cuts? This government really doesn’t care whether their claims are true.
