Police Say 10,000+ March In Wellington Hikoi
Hikoi update in Wellington
Police estimate 10,000
people are now part of the Hikoi march which is en route to
Parliament. Detective Inspector Rod Drew, acting Wellington
District Police Commander and head of Operation Hikoi, says
the Hikoi left Te Papa and 10.30. Thirty minutes later, the
front of the march had reached Willis Street with the tail
of the march still waiting to clear Te Papa.
Four hundred people arriving by trains at the Wellington Railway Station didn’t make the start of the march in time. They’re now waiting in Lambton Quay to meet the main group.
Police are pleased with the way the march is going. The only real problem is still congestion in the inner city.
Once the tail of the march has cleared Te Papa, police will be able to reopen Cable Street.
