Wellington prepares for more protests

From Lately, 10:18 pm on 22 August 2022

Wellington is bracing itself ahead of the Freedoms and Rights Coalition protest demonstration tomorrow.

Roads have been closed, Barricades set up and police officers brought in from outside of Wellington to help with any unrest.

Around one thousand people are expected at the march but the protest leader, Brian Tamaki, says the group will not occupy parliament or cause any violence.

Mayor Andy Foster updates us on how the city is preparing.
