Wellington braces for anti-government protest (RNZ)

Police will be out in force tomorrow with a large anti-government protest planned for Parliament.

"Basically the rule is if your going to be a d*** you're going to be chucked out. All the cafes and bars near Parliament spoken to by RNZ said they would be open tomorrow - but are expecting a quiet day with many civil servants expected to work from home. The police are warning anyone who was trespassed from Parliament in the occupation earlier this year - which ended in a fiery riot - that if they enter the grounds tomorrow they could be prosecuted.

Police Media Release - Wellington: Planned protest activity 2 (Wellington City Council)

There will be a significant Police presence around Wellington City ahead of planned protest activity expected to start tomorrow (Tuesday 23 August).

Our focus will be around public safety and ensuring that the disruption to the public is kept to a minimum. Police will maintain a high-visibility throughout the city, particularly in the area around Parliament grounds. While we anticipate the traffic disruption to be minimal, there will be more people in the area, which may cause some delays. Wellington District Police have put a traffic management plan into effect, restricting unauthorised vehicle movement and parking around Parliament and this will remain in place until the conclusion of the protest. Our message to commuters and people who work or move through the area is to plan ahead. Additional Police staff have been called in from outside of the Wellington Police District and plans are in place to respond if required.
