No mention of what they’re protesting but hopefully this isn’t some sort of attempt to repeat the literal shit-show from last year.

Edit: apparently it’s people gluing themselves to roads to promote trains. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/traffic-disruption-warning-by-police-ahead-of-restore-passenger-rail-protest/

So protest the government, not people trying to get to work.

They're protesting in Wellington, so many of the "poor normal people trying to get to work" do work in the government. Protests are inconvenient, that's the point.

No, protests are supposed to get public support for a cause.
