Occupy Auckland is still strong?!!

Susan Wood filling in for Hosking this morning had Bryce Edwards and Sue Bradford on the state of the Occupy Movement.

Edwards made a good summation of how the 2000 had shrunk to 200, the message had not really been focussed leaving the continuation in the hands of tourists and the protest anything for something to do.

Bradford attempted to state how the worst affected by inequality were still active including "the homeless"
Well blow me away, the homeless were still occupying, cripes when have they had access to a campsite near the center of our largest City. Of course the "homeless bums" will still be there all those with a home to go to have changed from daytime occupation to abandon ship some time ago.

What a heaven sent opportunity for backpackers to camp for free in an iconic central city park with portaloos thrown in, no need to shit in the woods there.

The entire farce was going to be our equivalent of the cardboard slum on the banks of the lake in Canberra and just as relevant. It is now just a tourist feature.

It took too long but eventually authority asserted itself, or did it, like cockroaches the idlers crawled back under the cover of darkness.
