$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 students through Student Job Search š
Protesters also waved placards aimed at the Prime Minister, some reading āJK listen to meā and āJFK, John Fuhrer Keyā.
Rather early to be comparing John to Hitler i would say.
Other slogans included āBrian smacks his 700 sonsā and āHit 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 freedom a democracy offered.
āI 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!
