Wellington councillor on large trans rights rally

From Morning Report, 8:15 am on 27 March 2023

A UK anti-trans activist who stirred up controversy went home early after she faced overwhelming opposition in Auckland.

Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull - also known as Posie Parker - was doused with tomato juice at her Albert Park event on Saturday, and was escorted away by police.

She then left the country before an event in Wellington yesterday - but thousands of trans advocates still turned up to Civil Square to protest her messages. 

Wellington city councillor Teri O'Neill was a marshal at the event.

She spoke to Māni Dunlop.
