Thousands march for referenda action
NZPA
November 21, 2009, 2:40 pm
Between 4000 and 5000 people are marching through central Auckland this
afternoon, urging the Government to act on referenda.
The
"March for Democracy" along Queen Street has been organised to protest
the Government's failure to respond to three citizens-initiated
referendums including one calling for the repeal anti-smacking
legislation.
Protesters are bearing placards aimed at Prime Minister John Key, some reading
"JK listen to me" and "JFK, John Fuhrer Key".
Auckland businessman Colin Craig has funded the march.
He
said the march is focusing on the Government's failure to respond to
referendums on reducing the number of MPs; a more victim-centred
justice system; and amending the anti-smacking legislation.
He said the march was demanding the smacking law be changed so that a light
smack was not a criminal offence.
