Ryan Boswell from Sky News tweeted:

Asset sales protest outside Parliament. Labour, the Greens and Mana were invited but a no show. pic.twitter.com/bR4S1kLX9O

Anyone have a count for how many turned up?

    When even rent-a-mob won’t turn up, it’s time to pack it in.

    But…but…but… David Shearer, Russel Norman and even Chris Hipkins (the Alfred E. Neuman of New Zealand politics) have all said as recently as yesterday that 80% of New Zealanders oppose asset sales. That of course begs the question: why after almost a year of taxpayer- paid campaigning, have less than 10% of voters signed a petition?

    The Silent Majority has spoken…

    But the ‘Noisy Minority’ don’t want to hear – THEY know better (besides which, they want to keep their snouts in the trough).

    I walked through at 12.30, would estimate 200-300 people. But if you take away tye people eating lunch, sunbathing, and the tourists you are left with zero protesters.

    This citizens initiated referendum should be null and void. It was not initiated by citizens, it was initiated by politicians. The same politicians who got voted out of government because the citizens of this country think they are idiots…

    And why weren’t the Gweens there? Simple, at least two of them were in the Waikato fawning-over a convicted criminal.

    Russel Norman in Parliament yesterday kept banging on about the No Asset Sales Citizens Initiated Referendum. I thought
    the Gween Party started the petition, how can that be a CIR? The man has no credibility and is a fuckwit.

    I did not turn up because I had already signed at least 40 times throughout the campaign.
    But my real name is not D Duck or M Mouse, and other names addresses and constituancies.
    Surely that would show that I supported the campaign seriously.
