Brian Tamaki @BrianTamakiNZ - Two immigrant District Police Commanders are blocking Kiwis from protesting mass immigration.
The District Commander for Waitematā is Naila Hassan (Pakistani Muslim)
The District Commander for Auckland is Sunny Patel (Indian)
The Auckland Harbour Bridge falls within both jurisdictions.
This is an outrage. Let that sink in.
We notified both Police District Commanders properly.
We engaged respectfully.
We were already working with an Iwi Liaison Superintendent.
Then our Police contact was removed.
Control was taken over by Naila Hassan's team.
And suddenly, we’re blocked.
This is not an event.
THIS IS A PROTEST…and Kiwis do not need permission or a permit to protest.
From the outset, NZ Police and NZTA had already decided to shut this down before our application was even submitted.
We still jumped through every hoop.
We lodged a qualified Traffic Management Plan.
