| One of my favs |
 |
| The head of the march |
 |
| True to form, the unions are a big part of the protest |
 |
| One of the protest leaders, Joe Carolan, speaks to Russell Norman |
 |
| Labour, along with David Shearer, were a big part of the protest |
 |
| The protest wasn't just about asset sales, with support for tino rangatiratanga coming from an unconventional group |
 |
| There appear to be more than 3000 people here. The organisers estimated 22,000, the Herald on Sunday estimated 3000, but initial media estimates put the number at 10,000. I tend to agree with the latter estimate. |
 |
| Again, Labour is a big part |
Asians supporting Tino Rangatiratangata that's really interesting.
ReplyDeleteYup it is i suppose :) For me (i'm also holding the banner) as tau iwi learning about colonisation in Aotearoa that we've migrated/been born into, feels like the logical thing to do.
DeleteAssets sales link into that as they add to yet another Tiriti breach...

Deletewhere was Te Ururoa Flavell today in rotorua
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. Parliament was sitting today, so he was probably needed in the House.
Deletei think is hold on the seat is tenacious at best so even if the house was sitting the maori party would have been better served with him there
DeleteHi Morgan, Joe Carolan here. The ANFS committee here in Auckland settled for the figure mentioned by Fairfax as a fair fact- 8,000.
