Well well, another example of how much the police are biased toward the National Party.
This was shown at the Bursary demo, last week in which the opposition member for Hutt was prevented from addressing the students on the steps of Parliament. The excuse used was that the speaker had given orders that there would be only two speakers to address the demonstration. Later that afternoon in Parliament he denied that he had given such an order and instead moaned on about how we hadn't told him we were coming — obviously he doesn't read local newspapers.
This sort of bloody minded incident reinforces the fact that the police heads in Wellington are a pack of Right-wind fascists and couldn't give a studd give a stuff about the domocratic rights of people.
