Here’s what they had to say:

“I support it.”

-
Darren Tehuia, 38

“So they should. The way society is going it’s only a matter of us preparing for what the governments decisions are going to be.”

John Bowie, 55
Publisher, Karori
“Yes. With the current environment and petrol prices and everything, I think to lay that on is a bit rich.”

-
Natalia Zaya, 20
“Yeah, it’s like everything is going up in NZ and it’s like not fair for them, because it’s just their job that they’re doing.”
-
-
Victoria Lister, 22

“Yes. I live on Cuba Street, it’s driving me crazy to be honest, but it’s only for one morning.”

Alice Mcnatty, 25
DOC Employee
“I’m indifferent to it, I don’t really know enough about it.”
-
-
Brendan Carson, 27
Radio Active employee, CBD
“Yes, but not the way they’ve done it. It’s not creating much chaos. They’d have done better to target politicians or government cars.”

Jessica Green, 22

Yep. My old man is in the convoy so I support them completely, 100%. The costs all come back to the consumer

Really, the government will do what they want. They won’t achieve much, just a lot of noise. I’m more worried about the price of milk
