Wayne McDonald, NZTA (New Zealand Transport Authority) regional director you are a moran. Today you put thousands of lives at risk, and shutdown a whole motorway in a failed attempt to stop a protest. Lucky for them the Police knew better and closed the motorway to vehicle traffic and cycles and walkers were the winners on the day.

Look at the news stories, rather than news of many people coming out to celebrate a kiwi icon and vital economic link, the stories revolve around how “protestors” stormed the bridge and how much of a tosser Wayne McDonald is.
And interesting bunch these protestors were… They looked, hmm, normal… It wasn’t a protest it was people power.
Well done to Bevan Woodward and GetAcross may a permament access route for cyclists and walkers be not another 50 years away.
