From Whangārei to Invercargill, thousands are expected to take to the streets in Friday's climate strike.

But it is not just about the climate crisis: The event is led by a coalition including Toitū Te Tiriti, Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa, and School Strike 4 Climate.

They have six demands. To keep the ban on oil and gas exploration, end the Fast Track Approvals Bill, toitū te Tiriti o Waitangi, climate education for all, lower the voting age to 16 and to "free Palestine".

You're talking absolute nonsense. One of the most effective protests I've seen was the original school strike, they had enough people to take over an entire street through sheer force of numbers, and completely filled parliament grounds.

Numbers speak more than anything, a thousand people protesting peacefully will carry more weigh than ten nutters shutting down SH1.

It doesn't matter how you protest, it matters how many protest.

You've missed the point I was making, but quick with the insults as always.

I understood your point, it just wasn't a very good one.

That's ok, I've seen what you think is a good point
