Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
Hฤซkoi mล te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rฤinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hฤซkoi passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangฤrei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
- The hฤซkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Mฤori. Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where thereโs about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
The hฤซkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldnโt be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
