Covid-19: Givealittle for Parliament's damaged slide reaches $21k

From Morning Report, 6:16 am on 16 March 2022

Wednesday marks two weeks since the protest at Parliament came to a violent end after 23 days.

Standing among the ruined grounds is Parliament's $500,000 playground - a slide that was damaged in a fire set by protesters on Parliament's lawn.

That same day, Wellington City Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons started a Givealittle page towards its repairs.

So far more than $21,000 has been donated.

She told RNZ reporter Jake McKee it's partly a way of claiming Parliament back from the chaos.
