TRIH- Queen St Riots with Renee Jones
It's time for the rest is history, where we look back at the week's news in the past. This coming monday marks the 36th anniversary of the 1984 Queen Street Riot. On December 7, 1984 Auckland's Queen St was the scene of fighting between young people and police, which ended in 120 arrests and over a million dollars' worth of damage to cars and looted shops. Renee Jones from Audioculture looks back at a fraught day in New Zealand's musical history.
