Picton protesters plan to stay as Parliament demonstration ongoing

From Checkpoint, 5:36 pm on 16 February 2022

Protesters in Picton are digging in and refusing to leave - passing the deadline they had agreed on to leave. Some protesters who couldn't make it to Wellington set up camp just across the Cook Strait over a week ago.

They had promised to move on by 5pm Wednesday, but they're still there - and saying they'll stay while there are still protesters in Wellington. Our reporter Samantha Gee joins us from Picton.
