$100 a marcher

The Herald reports:

Between 4000 and 5000 people marched through central Auckland this afternoon, urging the Government to act on referenda.

That can only be called a very disappointing turnout for the organisers, considering the target was 50,000 and the amount spent was $300,000 to $450,000 on promoting it.

Maybe they would have done better if they had followed the Manners Mall campaigners and just hired through Student Job Search šŸ™‚

Protesters also waved placards aimed at the Prime Minister, some reading ā€œJK listen to meā€ and ā€œJFK, John Fuhrer Keyā€.

Rather early to be comparing John to Hitler would say.

Other slogans included ā€œBrian smacks his 700 sonsā€ and ā€œHit me baby one more timeā€.

Heh now that is funny.

Singer Yulia said her childhood under a totalitarian regime in Russia made her appreciate the a offered.

ā€œI love democracy and I want it to stay,ā€ she said.

I don't think there are plans to abolish it until after the Reichstag gets burnt down!
