Groundswell NZ’s Drive 4 Change will pass through Waikato roads over the next few days.
The convoy of rural protesters are travelling from Invercargill to Auckland and had reached the southern end of Waikato by Friday morning, stopping in Tirau for the night.
On Saturday the convoy would meet in Te Awamutu before heading to The Base, Te Rapa in Hamilton on Saturday and onto Auckland on Sunday.
Groundswell co-founders Bryce McKenzie and Laurie Paterson have been doing the whole trek, meeting up with local farmers to boost the convoy along the way.
They have a simple political message “Things are bad, you need to vote, and you need to vote for change”.
