Photo / Jason DordayStory continues:Te Pāti Māori, alongside the Toitū Te Tiriti, said in an online post that the action was intended to “prove the might of [the Māori] economy by disconnecting entirely from it”. It is the second nationwide protest action Te Pāti Māori supported against the Government and its policies, coming after action on December 5 last year. Protest organiser Eru Kapa-Kingi, from Toitū Te Tiriti, said protest motorists in Auckland will converge on to the Northwestern, Southern and Northern motorways from 6.30am to try to accomplish maximum disruption. Te Pāti Māori co-leaders Rawiri Waititi (left) and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer defended a day of protest and continued to urge Māori people to join.
