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 totally agree. The whole point of a protest is to protest the government, letting yourself be repressed by their rules defeats that point. That's why disobedient protests like RPR are necessary.

So protest the government, not people trying to get to work.

They're protesting in Wellington, so many of the "poor normal people trying to get to work" do work in the government. Protests are inconvenient, that's the point.

No, protests are supposed to get public support for a cause.
