Protesters in Whanganui are celebrating shutting down the courthouse during a national day of Maori action
5 December 2023
Te Pati Maori led a march on Parliament this morning and car convoys disrupted traffic across the North Island.
It's calling the Government's approach to Te Tiriti - and other initiatives affecting Maori - an assault.
Whanganui iwi leader Ken Mair says they'll act again on December 20, and ask all Crown agencies in the region close for the day.
He says closing the court today was a challenge to a corrupt system.
He says they'll continue to do this - no matter how uncomfortable it may be for those who wish to uphold it.
