Maybe this is the start of something big.
Especially since there are rumors of 1000 people occupying the Auckland police station where the arrested students were taken!
No word from official news channels on that yet, unfortunately. Will post again when this happens.
EDIT: More news! Nothing we haven't seen before but there are some pretty damning images of the cops in this one.

I'm not seeing very much on the international news wires so far, sorry.
Ah well. There'll be some chance of that next week with the nation-wide action being planned.
Any update on the tone of this? Chloe? Paes?
Mostly seeing meetings for planning pass by my Facebook news feed.
Haven't been getting involved in the Wellington planning, though.
Otherwise all I'm seeing is continued outrage at kettling and throwing protestors around and other things that "police shouldn't be able to do!!!1! D:". WELP, welcome to Amurka.
Our gubbamints changed their mind on their "increasing class sizes will help students learn" but there's no sign of any change to their policies involving tertiary study.

Blockade the Budget seems to be still moving, but it's died down a lot since last week. All that really happened here in the capital was a speak out. Personally I was disappointed by this and didn't go, but people tell me it was good.
Mostly BtB seems to be working on strengthening its base of activists and rallying support from the unions etc. at the moment.
If anything of interest goes down I'll be back, I guess.
To the other posts: Yes, everywhere is Amurka. :cry:

Why do your filth dress up like little girls? Don't they realise that they will find it much easier to strike TERRURtm into the hearts of their victims if they dress up a little more Stoßtruppen. Terribly sorry but if one of those cocksuckers even looked at me funny I'd be morally obliged to beat him into a coma on general principle :lulz:
This is how scum really ought to dress if they want to stay alive command respect

Those stormtrooper guys would pass out in the heat here. :lulz:

We have those stormtrooper lookin' fellows, but they have guns and aren't allowed out until riot gear tasers guns and tear gas are called for.
Ours tend to get deployed more or less from the outset. It helps gee the crowd up and this leads to much better television.
