Photo: RNZAbout 500 protesters from the climate action protest group, Extinction Rebellion, have closed down a street in central Wellington. Six protesters attached themselves to a pink car at one end of Stout St, having removed the wheels so it is immobilised. Extinction Rebellion protesters in Wellington are taking part in worldwide action today. Extinction Rebellion is prepared to cause disruptions to make their point but today's demonstration was aimed more at the government rather than the public, Ms Olsen said.
