[size=0.875]As the anti-Covid-19 mandate protest outside Parliament continued into its 11th day on Friday, Wellington Live Community’s Graham Bloxham went to interview a protest organiser. (Source: 1News) [size=1.125]Graham Bloxham runs the popular Facebook page Wellington Live Community. As the anti-Covid-19 mandate protest outside Parliament continued into its 11th day on Friday, Bloxham went to interview protest organiser Sue Grey. [size=1.125]He said once he completed the interview, some in the crowd decided he shouldn’t have been there and attacked him and his cameraman.
[size=1.125]“We just wanted to show people that it is peaceful … then bang. They just yelled out ‘hold the line’. And whack. They were just all on me and they basically beat me and my cameraman to a pulp,” Bloxham alleged. [size=1.125]“Headlocks, punches, I got footage of it and they were really violent.” [size=1.125]Bloxham’s been left sore and bruised from the incident and said his camera operator was extremely shaken. [size=1.125]He told 1News police were nowhere to be seen while the incident took place. [size=1.125]“That is a riot waiting to happen and they'll go in all directions. I didn't see all the love as much as they're portraying,” he said. [size=1.125]“I was shaken, it was awful.” [size=1.125]He said he then received an apology from three of the organisers on Friday night.
[size=1.125]“They seemed genuine, but I don’t think they’ve got control of these people at all. It seemed like a circus.” [size=1.125]Bloxham said he also received calls and emails from protest organisers’ lawyers, who he said seemed keen to make sure the protest was seen as peaceful. [size=1.125]He was not alone in reporting being on the receiving end of abuse. [size=1.125]Melissa Lodge has been walking past Parliament to visit her heavily pregnant friend who lives in the area. [size=1.125]“She’s just too afraid to go out and be around the protests. So, I’m having to help her out and get groceries.” [size=1.125]Almost every time she’s visited, Lodge said protesters yelled at her or called her a 'sheep'. [size=1.125]“Just telling me to take my mask off, that I'm brainwashed … the worst time was [when] I was walking just past the protest, and a group was kind of behind me. One of them started chanting ‘Cindy’s wh*re.’”
[size=1.125]She described the experience as “scary”. [size=1.125]“I just want them to go home. I hate seeing how it’s affecting so many people.” [size=1.125]Lodge suffers from a gastrointestinal condition and wears a feeding tube. She said her compromised immune system meant it was important for her to wear a mask. [size=1.125]“If I caught Covid, it would affect me a lot more, or could be more dangerous. I force myself to wear a mask because I want to protect myself." [size=1.125]Numbers of protesters swelled in the capital on Saturday, but police were still taking a hands-off approach, helping to direct cars so they weren’t blockading new parts of the city. [size=1.125]Police Commissioner Andrew Coster told Q+A the level of force required to clear protesters from central Wellington wouldn't be acceptable to most New Zealanders. [size=1.125]Police felt the only way to safely resolve the ongoing occupation was de-escalation, Coster said.
[size=1.125]He said the crowd was diverse, with a mix of peaceful protesters and a "fringe" who are making violent threats to MPs and journalists. [size=1.125]He said the option of police taking enforcement action would have far-reaching consequences. [size=1.125]“Police would have to move in, using batons, probably using tear gas, to clear that crowd off the grounds. it's likely to lead to extended confrontation,” he said. [size=1.125]On Thursday, Speaker Trevor Mallard asked for cross-party supportto come up with an agreement to talk with protesters. [size=1.125]The agreement suggested dialogue with protesters, but only if they agreed to remove structures and clear the streets. [size=1.125]Earlier in the week, some of the groups in the protest launched a charm offensive, apologising to journalists for the abuse hurled at them from the protest group while claiming they only became “more fully aware” of it “recently”. [size=1.125]However, violent messages were spotted this week among the misinformation. [size=1.125]--One News
