Almost since the start of COVID-19 restrictions, people have been protesting them. It started with anti-lockdown protests, and as more restrictions have been announced the range of reasons for the protests have increased.

In mid-October 2021, the Government announced a mandatory vaccination order for health and education workers, despite Government ministers having previously ruled out mandatory vaccination as not the New Zealand way.

On the 3rd of December 2021, the [[COVID-19 Protection Framework]] (also known as the traffic light system) came into effect. The framework required that anyone operating a venue or gathering using the My Vaccine Pass system must see and frequently scan a person's vaccine certificate with the Government-provided verification app before allowing entry. Those under 12 years and 3 months did not require a certificate as they had been ineligible for the vaccine. The certificate contains the persons full name, date of birth and proof that they are double-vaccinated. Close-contact businesses such as gyms and hairdressers were required to use the My Vaccine Pass, but for others it was optional. However, not using the My Vaccine Pass imposed significant restrictions such that for many businesses it would not be viable to operate without it. For example not using the pass would mean significantly less people could be at a venue, and in the case of hospitality no one could dine-in, only takeaway service was allowed. In addition, all workers at businesses using the pass must be vaccinated and even hospitality venues that were not using the pass.

With the introduction of My Vaccine Pass, employers were finally allowed to use the Health and Safety Act to create policies requiring employees to be double-vaccinated or have their employment terminated. Many court cases were held regarding the legal right to refuse medical treatment and all were decided in favour of mandatory vaccination. As a result of the changes unvaccinated people were banned from working in the military, health, education, police, firefighting, corrections, and many businesses/organisations in a wide range of sectors such as supermarkets, trades, government, retail and logistics. They were also banned from entering many hotels, libraries, swimming pools, tertiary institutions and sitting practical drivers licence tests/education. This was despite there being no active COVID-19 cases in many communities including the entire [[South Island]] for a while. The unvaccinated were allowed to visit supermarkets, pharmacies, petrol stations and retail stores that generally had not opted in.

Anti-lockdown protests had been held in response to Auckland's lockdown, of August 2021 to the 3rd of December 2021, and with the new restrictions the protests morphed into anti-mandate protests. The responses to some of these protests had been to arrest organisers for violating COVID-19 health measures and prevent them from protesting again; and Christchurch City Council has been attempting to invoice an organiser $14,000 for the traffic management that police requested<ref>{{Cite web|date=2022-02-15|title=$14,000 bill owed to council by anti-Government protesters a month overdue|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/127767570/14000-bill-owed-to-council-by-antigovernment-protesters-a-month-overdue|access-date=2022-02-18|website=Stuff|language=en}}</ref>.{{multiple image

The Convoy 2022 NZ is a series of ongoing protests and blockades, occurring primarily in the grounds of Parliament House and Molesworth Street in Central Wellington. Protests in support of Convoy 2022 NZ have taken place in Christchurch, Dunedin, Picton and Wanaka.[8][9]

The response to the protests has been polarised across the world. Many within New Zealand have become increasingly angry with the government's reluctance to use brute force on the protestors, or to send in Ngāti Tūmatauenga to tow their cars. Speaker Trevor Mallard's decision to turn on the parliamentary sprinklers and spotlights and play "earworm" music such as Macarena by Los Del Rio and Barry Manilow's back catalogue has been met with a mixture of strong praise and disapproval; there were both negative and positive reactions to the levity of doing so. The fact that playing the music he chose was copyrighted, and thus led to protestors' Facebook livestreams being automatically removed as the music played in the background, was praised.[10]

Origin

Canadian flags have featured in the protest to show solidarity with the protests in Canada that inspired Convoy 2022 NZ.

Beginning on 22 January 2022, hundreds of vehicles formed convoys from several points and traversed Canadian provinces before converging on Ottawa on 29 January 2022, with a rally at Parliament Hill. The vehicular convoys were then joined by thousands of pedestrian protesters. Like New Zealand's convoy protests, other nations around the World began protesting in a similar style, all having their inspiration come from the Canadian protests.[11]

The Convoy 2022 protesters were motivated by various issues including opposition to vaccine mandates, restrictions on the unvaccinated, vaccine disinformation, COVID-19 conspiracy theories, allegations of mainstream media bias, and other domestic issues such as resentment towards Māori tribal groups for allegedly "selling out" and the planned closure of the Marsden Point Oil Refinery.[12][13] A recurring sign at the protests has been "Coercion is not consent". According to journalist Claire Trevett, the Convoy 2022 was a diverse group consisting of "young, middle-aged and old, Māori, Pākehā (European New Zealanders), Asians, hippies, gang members, church groups, stoners, naked and clothed."[14]

According to journalists Charlie Mitchell, Marc Daalder, and Glenn McConnell, several groups and activists were involved in organising the Convoy 2022 protests including anti-vaccination groups "Voices for Freedom" and New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out on Science (NZDSOS), conspiracy theorist Brett Power, far right media outlet Counterspin Media, Bishop Brian Tamaki's "The Freedom and Rights Coalition" (TFRC), far right activist Kelvyn Alp, and anti-vaccination activist Chantelle Baker.[15][16][17]

Timeline

6–7 February

On 6 February, two convoys of vehicles carrying freedom protesters travelled from Cape Reinga in the North Island and Bluff in the South Island to Wellington, departing at 6:30 am. The Convoy 2022 protesters plan to converge outside the New Zealand Parliament in Wellington. The South Island convoy was led by co-organiser Derek Broomhall. The convoy protest was inspired by the Canadian Freedom Convoy that converged in Ottawa in February to protest the Canadian Government's vaccine mandate and COVID-19 measures.[18][19] According to the Toronto Star, the South Island convoy participants could face difficulties in catching the ferry to Wellington due to passengers needing to be vaccinated or show proof of a negative test.[20]

Opponents sought to disrupt the convoys' journeys by spreading disinformation about travel itineraries on the Convoy's Telegram and Zello channels. In addition, opponents also hacked into the Convoy's Spotify playlist and added songs deemed objectionable by the Convoy's organisers including Rebel Son's "Redneck Piece of White Trash," The Offspring's "Why Don't You Get A Job?," , and Peaches' "Dumb F**k."[21]

8 February

On 8 February, the two convoys, consisting of at least 1,000 people, arrived in Wellington, converging on Molesworth Street near Parliament and in Lambton Quay. The presence of motorbikes, trucks, and cars created traffic jams and disruption in the Wellington CBD. Residents and commuters alleged aggressive behavior by some protesters. In response to the protests, both Prime Minister Ardern and the Leader of the Opposition, National Party leader Christopher Luxon, stated that they would not meet with the convoy participants.[22][23]

Despite convoy vehicles illegally blocking roads and occupying pedestrian areas, the Wellington City Council declined to issue infringement notices due to concerns over staff safety.[23] Protesters erected tents and marquees on Parliament grounds, with at least 100 people camping overnight.[7]

9 February

On 9 February, protesters attempted to push through a fence outside Parliament but were stopped by Police, who formed a ring around the entrance to the Parliament Buildings. Three men were arrested and issued with trespass notices. Police also issued orders for protesters to remove their tents and marquees from Parliament grounds.[7] One of those arrested was the conspiracy theorist Brett Powers, who had unsuccessfully attempted to arrest Minister of Health Andrew Little for alleged culpability in vaccine deaths. Powers had earlier led an attempt to storm the offices of the Taranaki Daily News in New Plymouth.[15][16]

According to Daalder, the attempt to breach the police line outside Parliament sparked tensions between the unspecified original organisers of the convoy (who advocated calm) and Counterspin (who pushed for the storming of Parliament). In addition, a new faction aligned with the TFRC seized control of the PA system to call for calm. Counterspin ultimately won control of this power struggle and urged protesters to remain and resist the Police.[15]

Protesters also assaulted a 17-year-old girl for wearing a mask by throwing eggs at her, leaving her traumatised.[24]

10 February

On 10 February, Police attempted to forcibly remove the protesters from Parliament grounds. Wellington District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell confirmed that 122 protesters had been arrested on charges of trespass and obstruction.[1][25][26] During the attempted eviction, Police were also filmed forcibly dragging a naked female protester by her hair.[27][28] About 27 protesters were held in custody overnight after refusing to sign their bail bonds. All faced charges of wilful trespass, which carries a maximum sentence of three months in prison or a NZ$1000 fine. Those arrested came from as far north as Whangārei and Dannevirke and as far south as Otago and Southland.[29]

Following the failed attempt to evict protesters, 900 police officers in Wellington and 150 reinforcements were brought in from across the country.[6] Protesters also parked their vehicles the streets around Parliament, leading to the closure of several businesses and the National Library of New Zealand. Some protesters also behaved aggressively towards members of the public, media, businesses, and school students including individuals wearing masks. Due to the aggressive conduct of the protesters, the Parliamentary Service, Victoria University of Wellington, the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Justice, the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Health advised their personnel to avoid the area entirely and to remove identification when approaching the area.[1]

That same day, Police began working with Wellington City Council parking wardens to issue infringement notices to the protesters' illegally parked vehicles. Police also confirmed that they were exploring options with tow truck companies to remove the protesters' vehicles.[6][13] Superintendent Parnell also confirmed that Police were working with the Wellington City Council to prevent food trucks and others from bringing food to the protesters at Parliament.[30]

11 February

On 11 February, Parliament's garden sprinklers were turned on under orders by Trevor Mallard in a bid to deter protesters from Parliament and convince them to leave. Protesters then started to dig channels to direct water to nearby drains, causing the lawns to turn boggy and muddy. Wellington District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell said Molesworth Street remains blocked by over 100 vehicles, including large trucks, campervans and cars. No further arrests had been made that day.[31] In addition to turning on lawn sprinklers on the camp Mallard had speakers set up to play Barry Manilow songs, the "Macarena", "Baby Shark," "My Heart Will Go On," "Let It Go," James Blunt's "You're Beautiful," and pro vaccination messages. The attempt to disperse protesters backfired and only escalated tensions. Mallard was criticised by both the National and ACT parties with ACT leader David Seymour saying Mallard "seems to be acting like a kid in a very adult situation."[32][33]

12 February

Convoy protesters remained at their makeshift camp despite heavy rain caused by the approaching Cyclone Dovi. The Freedom and Rights Coalition also announced that they were sending reinforcements including motorbikes to support the Convoy protesters. Police maintained a presence near the camp while around 100 vehicles including large trucks, campervans and cars continued to occupy Molesworth Street. In addition, bales of hay were brought to mop up the water caused by the sprinklers.[34]

Newshub reported a music festival atmosphere at the Convoy camp with chanting interspersed with music. In response, Ngāti Toa condemned the use of their haka Ka Mate at the protest. Police also evacuated a protester who experienced a medical emergency. Due to disruptions caused by the protest, Metlink removed all bus services from the Lambton Interchange and placed additional detours in place.[34]

13 February

On 13 February, Superintendent Parnell expressed concern about sanitation issues arising from faecal contamination and unhygienic portaloos, which had been exacerbated by rain over the weekend. There were also reports of children playing in unhygienic conditions in the makeshift camp. Police attempted to unblock roads around Parliament but were unable to communicate with organisers. To reassure the public, Police stepped up patrols around Molesworth street and other streets around the protest as well as the train station. Parnell also confirmed that the Police were entering into discussions with the New Zealand Defence Force to unblock roads. There were reports of protesters who had been arrested earlier but had bail conditions to not return to the campsite flouting court orders.[35][36]

According to Police, there were between 400 and 500 people remaining in tents, after reaching a peak of 3,000 people. Parnell confirmed that Police were also working to restore the protest to a "lawful protest" by engaging with key leaders and moving vehicles to a staging area in order to reopen Wellington's streets.[1]

14 February

On 14 February, the Convoy 2022 NZ, Freedom Alliance, New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science, Outdoors & Freedom Movement, The Freedom and Rights Coalition, The Hood NZ and Voices for Freedom issued a letter demanding an urgent meeting with Government ministers and the immediate removal of vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 response rules. In the joint statement, the authors stated that it did not condone aggressive and intimidatory behaviour towards members of the public and offered to work with Police to identify those involved. They also sought to minimise the impact of their protest activities on traffic congestion in the Wellington CBD. The groups also claimed that they were not anti-vaccination but were opposed to the Government's vaccine mandate.

In response, Police Commissioner Andrew Coster activated the Major Operations Centre (MOC) at the Police National Headquarters in support of the Wellington District operation. Coster also stated that Police would give protesters the opportunity to voluntarily remove their vehicles but warned that time was "running out." While the Police were unwilling to escalate tensions, Coster confirmed that the Police had entered into discussions with towing companies and the New Zealand Defence Force to remove illegally parked vehicles. In addition, a "Wellington Food Coordination Group" issued a letter to Thorndon residents and businesses informing them about their food truck operations servicing protesters. They also apologised for the disruption their activities had caused.[37]

That same day, Police and the Wellington City Council offered protesters free parking at the nearby Sky Stadium, to try and clear roads of vehicles, though the offer was not taken up. Protesters were suspicious of the offer, concerned that their vehicles would end up getting impounded if they did so.[38][37]

16 February

On 16 February, Seymour became the first leader of a political party in parliament to speak directly with protestors stating "There are some completely unacceptable elements of this protest. But there are also a lot of people out there who are reasonable, are not violent, and simply want to be heard."[39]

18 February

On 18 February, a poll of 520 people conducted by Horizon Research showed 30% support the protest and 61% were opposed.[40]

Related protests

Tents set up in The Octagon, 16 February 2022

Picton

On 9 February, solidarity protesters gathered in the upper South Island town of Picton. Unlike the Wellington protest, the Picton protest was largely peaceful, with local residents and businesses reporting minimal noise and disruption.[8] Following discussions between the Marlborough District Council and protest leaders on 11 February, Freedom Convoy protesters agreed to relocate from Nelson Square to Waitohi Domain by 16 February.[41]

On 16 February, protester organisers abandoned their earlier agreement with local authorities to vacate the site by 5pm and stated that they would remain until the Government's vaccine mandate was lifted. Camp coordinator Craig Tough urged protesters to ignore the Marlborough District Council's trespass notices. By that time, there were at least 150 vehicles including food trucks present at the site. Gang members were also present as well.[42] In response, Mayor of Marlborough John Legett called on protesters to vacate the Nelson Square reserve and stated that the Council would work with police to resolve the situation. [43]

Dunedin

On 10 February, 60 protesters affiliated with the anti-vaccination group Voices for Freedom staged a solidarity protest near the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum in Dunedin.[9] Other regular protests have occured daily in Queens Gardens.

On 12 February, another protest was held in The Octagon. Protesters camped on the site and announced that they would not leave until the Government lifted the country's vaccine mandates.[44] Protesters set up nine tents and a marquee. Local police and the Dunedin City Council (DCC) monitored the protests to ensure that they did not cause trouble.[45] On three separate occasions, Fire and Emergency New Zealand received three call-outs from the police, who had been alerted to fires lit in a brazier by members of the public.[46]

Christchurch

On 12 February, protesters staged a march to express solidarity with the Wellington Convoy participants.[34]

On 14 February, a small group of protesters sent up tents in the city centre's Cranmer Square with representatives announcing that they would not leave until the Government had lifted the country's vaccine mandate. The Christchurch City Council confirmed that it was working with police to liaise with the protesters. Cranmer Square is classified as a reserve under Christchurch's by-laws.[47]

Wanaka

In mid February, anti-vaccine mandate protesters occupied Wanaka's Ardmore Street for four days, leading to reports of disorderly conduct and complaints of intimidation from local businesses.[44][45]

Responses

Opposition

On 9 February, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated that the protesters did not represent the majority of New Zealanders, while COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins described the protest as embodying numerous issues and lacking clarity. National Party leader Christopher Luxon criticised the protesters for impinging on other people's freedoms by obstructing roads and travel, while the National Party's COVID-19 Response spokesperson Chris Bishop described the protesters as anti-vaxxers who denied the "fundamentals of science." ACT Party leader David Seymour criticised the protesters for trespassing on public property, while expressing concern about the Government's COVID-19 restrictions.[48]

On 12 February, Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson stated that protesters lost their right to protest when "they threaten, harass and disrupt people and a whole city." Robertson criticised protesters for intimidating school children wearing masks, blocking roads, disrupting emergency and transport services, and shutting down businesses. Robertson also objected to threats to arrest and execute him and other government ministers including Ardern.[49]

Local Iwi in Wellington have stated their opposition to the protest, with particular regards to the aggressive behaviour by some protesters, and want a "political solution" to end the situation.[50]

Support

Matt King speaking at the anti-mandate occupation

While most New Zealand political figures condemned the Wellington protests, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, former ACT leader Rodney Hide and former National Party MP Matt King expressed their support for the protesters' right to express their opposition to vaccine mandates.[51][52][53]

On 8 February, the Social Credit Party released a press statement likewise advocating for an end to the government's vaccine mandate.[54]

On 9 February, the New Conservative Party voiced support for the Convoy 2022 protesters' opposition to vaccine mandates and traffic light restrictions on social gatherings. The party also criticised Members of Parliament for allegedly ignoring their electors and trampling on people's rights. They called for a binding referendum to make the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 "supreme law."[55]

New Zealand Outdoors Party co-leaders Sue Grey and Alan Simmons attended the protest, and on 10 February released a statement condemning the arrest of protestors.[56]
