Josie Butler, the activist who threw a sex toy at Steven Joyce at Waitangi in 2016, has shown up at Te Tii Waitangi marae today - and promptly served with a trespass notice.
The Christchurch woman said on social media that police had served her with a trespass notice last week, banning her from attending the celebrations at Waitangi. She said the trespass would not stop her and she would still travel north for the occasion.

In a Facebook post, she explained she was invited to speak at Waitangi, both as a speaker and to honour her whakapapa as she has recently discovered her great-great-great-grandfather was a signatory of the treaty and had been the first person ever to speak on Waitangi.
