Protesters, attendees clash at anti-co-governance meeting
Alarge line of police separated protesters and attendees at an anti-co-governance meeting in Auckland to ensure everyone's safety.
The meeting, organised by Julian Batchelor, was part of an anti-co-governance roadshow running across the country and was held at the Ōrewa Community Centre on Saturday afternoon.
A protest against the meeting was attended mostly by local iwi Ngāti Manuhiri and members of Te Herenga Waka o Ōrewa Marae.
Videos posted online show a tense atmosphere, with protesters disrupting the meeting with the waiata 'Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi', while attendees countered with the English verse of the national anthem.
