The Independent Police Conduct Authority is reviewing 162 complaints stemming from anti-trans activist Posie Parker's 'Let Women Speak' rally earlier this year.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, also known as Posie Parker, abandoned her New Zealand tour citing safety concerns after being assaulted during her speech and seeing attacks among the crowd.

The review will look at police conduct at the protest and planning for the event.

The authority's chair Judge Kenneth Johnston spoke to Corin Dann.
