https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/covid-19-omicron-outbreak-parliament-protest-speaker-trevor-mallard-plays-barry-manilow-macarena-over-loud-speakers-to-deter-crowd/KRZ3NHOVFXS2GNPMDAWZOQU2HA/"Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard has started his next attempt to make life uncomfortable for the protesters outside Parliament, by setting up speakers to boom Barry Manilow, the Macarena, and Covid-19 vaccination messages at them...
Mallard, who had Parliament's lawn sprinklers turned on last night, had his speakers turned on as Freedom and Rights Coalition speeches ended...
Mallard said: "We wanted to make sure everybody here had the warning about trespass and because of the number of unvaccinated people in the audience, we believe it's important to promulgate messages about vaccination.
He said the 15-minute loop of music and Covid-19 ads would play on repeat, possibly through the night."
And there's a cyclone on the way. Seriously, screw these people. They've been digging trenches through the middle of the lawn in front of Parliament to try to get the sprinklers to drain away from their tents and throwing things at school kids wearing masks as they try to walk by.

To check on that cyclone. Looks like it's been downgraded and it's almost at NZ's north island.

I'm sure if these pricks saw their livelihood destroyed, knowing there would be no insurance payout. Things would come to focus immediately.

I hope everyone goes to the link to see the pictures. You will see that the United States is not the only nation with a crew of morons causing havoc.
Also note the reference to white nationalism in the story. What a freaking mess. And, as the story notes, caused by misinformation on social media.

"Never one to miss an opportunity for a self-deprecating joke, Blunt tagged the NZ Police on Twitter, offering to help out in case blasting Barry Manilow doesn't send protesters home."
Also cyclone now here. "Let it go" added to the playlist.
