Auckland Mayor Phil Goff has added his name to those of leaders worried about a planned protest against Covid-19 restrictions in Auckland and other areas this weekend.
Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki has assured Police Commissioner Andrew Coster the planned marches will be done with physical distancing, QR scanning and a mask mandate.
The Commissioner has warned that the demonstration will be still illegal under the current alert level anyway.
Goff told Morning Report Tamaki is putting his followers at risk by talking about protests, and generally preaching that mask use and vaccinations aren't necessary.
