Protests permitted by New Zealand law

Protest is one of the broad rights granted to its people by Western democracies. In New Zealand, demonstrations are a demonstration of a group of people expressing their views together, a type of radicalism that usually takes the form of a one-man gathering in the same place. Because a group of people gathered for the same opinion, the opinions they advocated were therefore of great importance. Demonstrations can be used to express views on a public issue, whether positive or negative, especially those related to social injustice and the suffering of the people. The more people involved in a demonstration, the more successful it is usually considered. Demonstrations are usually focused on political, economic and social issues.

In addition, there is a very New Zealand characteristic, that is, there are "Maori" demonstrations, whether because of the historical Maori war treaties, or about the Crown and Maori land disputes, or Maori in other forests in general feel "uncomfortable", can always organize, jump haka, spit tongue, on the street demonstrations.

Apart from Maori-related demonstrations, the most common reasons for demonstrations in New Zealand are the following:

Labour disputes
Climate change
Animal welfare
Environmental pollution.
Feminist.
Child welfare
Minority issues
Demonstrations are usually public because only the organizers of the "make things big" demonstrations can make their views available to a wider audience and pressure the government through public pressure.

There are several common demonstrations in New Zealand:

Marches - A group of people walk from point A to point B
Sit-ins - Demonstrators sit in a fixed or unlimited amount of time and refuse to leave until their demands are taken seriously
Rallies - Crowds gather in one place to listen to the leader of the demonstration
Picketing - A detour around an area, led by order-keeping personnel
New Zealand's demonstrations in recent decades have been peaceful and non-violent, with slogans, slogans, leaflets and dialogue with the government mainstream, smashing and robbing the "black lives" of the kind of play that has no breeding ground in New Zealand. In addition, large-scale demonstrations involved police officers throughout the process, and gave the demonstrators lead the road (pre-routed) to maintain order and avoid irrational clashes between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators.

New Zealand law provides that a demonstration of the type of space occupied (sit-in or assembly) is possible if it takes up public roads, sidewalks, parks, etc., but if private territory is used in the course of the demonstration, permission from the landlord must be obtained or the court will convict the person of trespassing. In the process of sit-in, the legitimate rights and interests of others should not be infringed, such as "road-taking demonstrations", then non-demonstrators must be allowed to pass through the section of the sit-in without interruption, and the right of way and liberty of others must not be denied.

Demonstrations to block roads are an effective and attention-seeking form of protest, but if New Zealand police ask the demonstration to stop and organizers continue to block the roads, they can be criminalized and fined up to NZ$1,000. In addition, if "non-protesters" need to cross the procession horizontally (and in some times long), protesters are not allowed to interfere with the free passage rights of others.

By the way, there is a relatively strange way of demonstrating, which is rare in New Zealand.
