The Tuhoe tribe marched round the centre of Wellington today. They are from North Eastern NZ where people were arrested as 'terrorists' about 4 weeks ago.
The front people were masked and carried clubs. They tried to look frightening. They marched down Lampton Quay and then to the Beehive - HQ of the New Zealander government.
Afterwards they marched up to the Police HQ to protest at the arrests for 'terrorism'. I happen to work in the same building and we were blocked in for about 20 minutes. They apparently let off some fireworks but we did not hear them. Then the tribe went home.
I was once blocked in an office building in Ballymoney from 4pm until about 8pm and then was only allowed out after the mayor of Ballymena negotiated that we be allowed to leave....
Not much of a march by Northern Irelander standards.... they have no stamina for protest here!!!!!
There was a cruise ship in Wellington Harbour with loads of Americans getting tours round Wellington... not a good look for New Zealand with that protest march!!!
