Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

It's time I reckon we started sending bills to those protesters for wasting police time and resources.  I watched yesterday with growing anger as a couple of Greenpeace people climbed on top of an awning on The Terrace in Wellington.  They were just one floor up, they stood there looking like numpties with their overalls and their helmets on.  Nothing wrong with protesting, but there were eight first responders on the scene, at least three police cars, a fire truck – they even had to use their cherry picket to get these guys off the roof.  The cars were at a standstill, and instead of solving crime a poor cop was marshalling traffic to allow the fire truck to position itself in place. What a waste of time.  Just hang your banner and piss off. Please don't waste any more of our time.  It's like those crazy ones that used to block the motorways in Wellington, remember that? Thank goodness they seem to have given up and gone away. Good riddance.  The motorway protesters made people late for their cancer appointm
