Bryce Edwards: Videos of the parliamentary grounds occupation
I’ve visited the Parliamentary Grounds protest a number of times as an observer. I continue to disagree with the politics of the protest as well as some of the horrific behaviour and threats, but am trying to objectively critique the protesters. When visiting the protest I am triple-vaxxed, and triple-masked. Below are some of the videos that I have put online, to accompany the photos I have also published on this site:
I’m going to continue critiquing the parliamentary occupation in the media, and trying to be objective about a protest that I do not support. Anyhow here’s another long video I took this morning, while I was triple-vaxxed and triple-masked – it’s of the arrested “naked protester” pic.twitter.com/4rAfyhQr7a

I’m not a supporter of the Parliamentary Grounds Occupation, but very pleased to just walk through & see a speaker demand that any person threatening politicians or anyone will be ejected. Crowd all applauded. Video of chalk messages on Beehive: pic.twitter.com/Uh6Tn3HhpB
