1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: So the protest culminates today in the Capitol with a

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: lot of people turning up at Parliament, and charge of

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: keeping it all in order are, of course the police.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: The district command of Curry panels with us. Curry morning

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: to you.

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: What am I?

7
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: You're feeling good about it all?

8
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: I am like you. A month's with the planning has

9
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: gone unto us, so beautiful down in the Capital City

10
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: and everything's looking good at this stage.

11
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: A month's worth of planning. What's involved in that.

12
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Lots of meetings across with their partners within police. But yeah,

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: perfect management plan. So you're lots of layers go on

14
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: near But you know, the Capital City we're not immune

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: to this stuff. We meekly have major events, so well

16
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: prepared and planned for this.

17
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: All of the numbers that are being bandied about the place,

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: do you have any idea how many people there will

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: actually be?

20
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: Yes, I've said all the way through that's never an

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: exact science around numbers, but I'm fairly confident from what

22
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: I've seen over the last few days here we can

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: anticipate an excessive ten thousand minimum two day worth planned

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: for higher numbers. But that said, at the moment It's

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: the sort of sense I get of.

26
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: Okay, it's ten power, so the media is reporting thirty,

27
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: so they might have got carried away. If doesn't materially

28
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: change what you do and how you do it, if

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: it's ten versus thirty, it.

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 2: Doesn't for me. In terms of the planning, we've planned

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: for both scenarios there and the abilities of scale up

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: operations or a descale down. Accordingly, for today.

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Is the most worrying part. The dispersal at the end

34
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: and where the people go peacefully.

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm quite comfortable. We've had tremendous engagement right throughout the

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: last week ind and half with the Hikoi leadership. What

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: we've seen has been peaceful and they've stuck to their intent.

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: I see no departure from that today. Quite confident in

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: terms of post the parliament phase today there are some

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 2: celebrations back at quite tiny part, but the general sense

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm getting from the interactions I've had are looking forward

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: to being back to the perhaps of the more two today.

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well appreciate it. Cory Parnell, who's the Wellington Police
