The grounds of parliament are unrecognisable after 23 days of occupation.
There are burned tents, litter and crushed signs and grafitti strewn across the lawn.
Speaker Trevor Mallard is promising to restore the grounds but has said there will have to be a wall around the grounds with gates that close to prevent any further occupations.
Deputy Prime Minister and Wellington Central MP Grant Roberston told Morning Report he expects the grounds to be returned to their previous state soon.
Susie Ferguson got an update from Parliament.
