No mention of what they’re protesting but hopefully this isn’t some sort of attempt to repeat the literal shit-show from last year.

Edit: apparently it’s people gluing themselves to roads to promote trains. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/traffic-disruption-warning-by-police-ahead-of-restore-passenger-rail-protest/

I've been told by these guys that the media has, apparently, had a habit of ignoring them in the past for whatever reason. Demonstrations specifically towards people of power etc are good and all but they're meaningless if the general public isn't aware of them!

As I said in another comment, it's hard to ignore a protest of tens of thousands of people that literally cannot fit on Parliament grounds.

Sheer numbers is the way to get a protest noticed.
