Covid-19: Protest causes trouble at Auckland border

From Morning Report, 8:42 am on 9 November 2021

A protest has caused traffic delays on Auckland's northern border at Te Hana.

Police say protesters have gathered at the northern side of the border and as a result State Highway 1 was blocked for a considerable period of time this morning.

There are reports the protest is affiliated with the Freedom and Rights Coalition, which is against vaccine mandates in New Zealand.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua chief operating officer Antony Thompson spoke to Guyon Espiner.
