Two people have pleaded not guilty to trespassing after being arrested protesting on Waiheke Island. The pair appeared in the Auckland District Court on Monday after occupying the proposed site of the controversial Kennedy Point marina. The Protect Putiki occupation say the korora - or Little Blue Penguin - which inhabit the area, will be threatened due to the development. Te Aorewa Rolleston reports.
