No mention of what they’re protesting but hopefully this isn’t some sort of attempt to repeat the literal shit-show from last year.

Edit: apparently it’s people gluing themselves to roads to promote trains. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/traffic-disruption-warning-by-police-ahead-of-restore-passenger-rail-protest/

How often do tens of thousands participate in a protest though? We had mass protests. This is just a reminder that politicians really need to do more.

I mean, that's kinda my point. It's easy to ignore a handful of nutters, less so a crowd of tens of thousands.
