Yesterday there was another “anti-government” protest outside parliament in Wellington. The last such protest was in February and attracted many different protestors who didn’t agree with the government about their public health measures. It was called the Convoy 2022 protest, and went on for a month and ended in riots.

There were fears we may have the same problems again, and many people who work in the area around parliament decided to stay home yesterday. Police put up barriers to stop people from bringing cars into the area, and another group of protestors who opposed the anti-government protestors also gathered.

Thankfully, the protestors came and went peacefully and there was no violence. The leader of the protest was Brian Tamaki, the leader of the controversial Destiny Church and also the Freedom and Rights Coalition. At the protest, Tamaki said that he will form a new political party to run for government in the next election.
