Anger at Lyttelton port

Journalists covering the arrival of the surviving Oyang 70 crew this morning are angry about they way they were treated.

Reporters were kept well away from the scene at the Port of Lyttelton where the crew were ushered onto a bus.

As the bus headed through the Lyttelton tunnel police moved to block off following media then closed the tunnel for 15 minutes - presumably to prevent journalists from discovering the location of the hotel they're heading to.

One camera crew did manage to join the convoy of plain clothes police in what a Newstalk ZB reporter at the scene described as a "dangerous manoeuvre" before the tunnel was blocked off.
