Police warning over planned anti-mandate march on Auckland Harbour Bridge this Saturday

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Kia ora neighbours. Police have issued a warning ahead of a planned anti-vaccine mandate march on Auckland Harbour Bridge, saying it would be unlawful and potentially dangerous.

The Freedom and Rights Coalition, founded by Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki, posted on their Facebook page on Thursday morning that a protest across the landmark was expected on Saturday.

But despite the plan to march from the North Shore and across the Harbour Bridge on Saturday, police said they had not received any applications to have the bridge closed to traffic.

Police said they had been made aware of the protest, which they would monitor and “respond accordingly” to.

“Crossing the Harbour Bridge on foot would be unlawful and so police will be working to prevent this as it could be extremely dangerous to those walking on the bridge and to other road users,” said a police spokeswoman.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
