Police have been called in to investigate a political stunt
involving the burning of a New Zealand flag in the grounds of
Parliament today.
The incident involved two Republican Party members airing
some political grievances in front of Parliament buildings
early this afternoon.
They were warned by a security staff member not to set fire
to the flag but did so anyway, although the flame quickly
petered out despite accelerant being used, and made the stunt
an unspectacular one.
Parliamentary Service said the protest was unauthorised and
police were investigating. The protest also included
presenting photos of Prime Minister John Key, ACT leader
Rodney Hide and former Prime Minister Helen Clark and cutting
their heads off.
