Reclaim the streets – Auckland

One from Joe for a tongue in cheek violent one and one from Heather for a peaceful, creative one? Both voted for unaminously!!! also the mike was open to anyone wo wanted to use it so who is this "they" who stopped you from putting forward your own vote? "They" constantly asked for new people to take up the mike!

And although Joe did it tongue in cheek style, it had got a huge nerar unanimous vote with only one guy against (who seemingly voted against everything on principle) and no abstentions. Joe called for votes for, against and abstentions with all the motions he put forward on the day- including for his version of revolution!

The report above is fair enough, but writes out a lot of the hard work Climaction activists did to build the event (not even one mention of the groups name). They are also personally out of pocket by hundreds of dollars for providing the ice, placards, chalk, toys, beachballs, car and hiring sound equipment and yet didnt push their collection or recruitment robotically or evangelically on the day. I'd ask Indy readers to give some practical solidarity to the crew and give some small koha or donation to help them out.

I'd also say that there were more than 200 people passing through K road on the day, but because of the length of theese Reclaim the Streets protests (4 or 5 hours) didnt stay for the whole thing. A whole lot of new people turned up when the punk band played at the end.

Also good to see AUSA return to the streets as well, and Hannah their environmental officer spoke well.

For gods sake if you want a better article write one yourself instead of complaining.

For gods sakes if you want better comments then write an accurate article instead of attempting to shut down feedback
