More than a thousand demonstrators gathered in Dunedin to march from Queens Gardens to the Octagon this morning in protest of government plans that impact Māori and the Treaty of Waitangi.
A wide range of people joined to support the city's latest Toitū te Tiriti protest today.
The protest consisted of a march through town, ending at the Octagon, where there would be kōrero (speeches), waiata (songs) and other formalities.

The government has also said it will introduce, but is not committed to passing, a bill that would reinterpret the Treaty of Waitangi, spearheaded by the Act party.
