A woman arrested in Kaikohe on Tuesday after organising a series of small-scale protests around the country in defiance of lockdown rules is due back in court on September 21.
Karen Brewer, an Australian citizen, was charged with breaching a Covid order and has been bailed to her home in the Mid North.
She was arrested outside the Far North District Council chambers and made a brief appearance in the Kaikohe District Court later that day.
Brewer had started organising the demonstrations months earlier. They had been publicised via Facebook and other social media channels, posters and ''Freemasonry is the virus'' stickers placed over Covid-19 QR codes at businesses around Northland.
