It started off like many other anti-mandate protests - but it turned into something we had not seen before in New Zealand.

They pitched their tents and stayed, ignoring trespass notices from the Speaker of Parliament, Trevor Mallard, and warnings from the police.
Herald photographers and reporters were on the grounds throughout the occupation, talking to protesters, police, politicians and ordinary Wellingtonians and recording the changes in the protest as they happened.
