Covid-19: Bad music fails to move protestors

From Morning Report, 6:09 am on 14 February 2022

Efforts to drive out anti-vaccine and anti-mandate protesters from Parliament's grounds failed over the weekend, with hundreds still camped out on the lawn.

The Speaker of the House used a variety of peculiar tactics to try and disperse the crowds including playing an out tune cover of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' on repeat for hours.

The police are appealing to demonstators to work with them to try and clear the streets of Wellington, but the protesters show no signs of moving.
