Wellington planning for protest activity
wellington.govt.nz
A number of protest groups are converging on the capital’s CBD on Thursday 28 and Saturday 30 September – so a number of road closures and diversions will be in place.

TL;DR: road closures starting from tonight until midday Friday

    Is it too late to hope restore passenger rail will somehow cockblock the Tamaki brigade?

      I don’t think they’re brave or stupid enough to get in the way of that mob.

    Do we know what the protests are protesting?

      Just out of curiosity I had a look at their site. Ten minutes of my life wasted I’m not getting back. Essentially against everything in Agenda 2030 and the government is corrupt bla bla.

      Just ignore, work from home if you can, and move on. Absolutely not worth your time.

      There’s the “The Freedoms & Rights Coalition’s (TFRC) ‘Revolution Convoy 2023’”, and the “Pōneke Anti-Fascist Coalition” counter protest. I haven’t linked to anything about them as I felt that’s probably more of a discussion for the politics sublemmy.

        Ah thanks, I had assumed something worthwhile, I forgot about these kinds of protests.

        As soon as I read Brian Tamaki I think I knew all I needed to know. Donations are drying up so he needed something new to oppose.

            I thought there was one party formed from several smaller ones, headed by the Tamakis? Freedoms NZ.
