As anti-mandate protesters settle in for another night on Parliament grounds, overseas media have referred to it as a "copycat convoy".
New Zealand was included in a Washington Post article about protests inspired by Canada's "freedom convoy".
"Protesters camped outside New Zealand's Parliament on Wednesday to oppose coronavirus measures, a day after a convoy of vehicles clogged streets in the capital, Wellington, with horns blaring," the article read.
Protests in Alaska, Canberra, Europe and New York were also mentioned in the article.
