Here we come... walking down the street

The Anti-Smack­ing Bill? The Child Dis­cip­line Bill? I’m not entirely sure what it’s offi­cially called, and in stand­ard tra­di­tion, I can­’t be bothered look­ing it up. But you know what I mean.

We get the funniest looks from everyone we meet

We here at the Wel­ling­tonista don’t tend to take sides on import­ant issues, or more accur­ately, we do, we just bick­er amongst ourselves, rather than pro­claim it from our hal­lowed site. Unless Nat­alie tells us we should.

Hey, hey, we're the monkees And people say we monkey around

Any­way, I watched the scant few hun­dred people march down Lamb­ton Quay protest­ing the repeal of Sec­tion 59, and an even scanter num­ber tag­ging along at a dis­creet dis­tance, protest­ing against those protest­ing the repeal of Sec­tion 59. No won­der I get con­fused…

But were too busy singing To put anybody down

Best bit was the Flag Head Guy who ran onto the road & tore up someone’s plac­ard. Two pigs respec­ted police­men ran after & for­cably restrained him. I was a few floors up hop­ing they’d taser the guy, because that’d be pretty neat to blog about with pic­tures don’t you think?

We go wherever we want to, Do what we like to do

Break­ing news! The guy with the flag on his head, was not in fact, just some very naughty boy, he was Jesus, Son of God, so not only did we wit­ness a spir­ited protest march, but also some civil dis­obedi­ence from the resur­rec­ted Mes­si­ah.

Not some­thing you see every day of the week, I think you’ll all agree! Way to go Jesus! Still in trouble with the law I see.

We don't have time to get restless, Theres' always something new.

I gave them a couple of minutes & then tagged along to the Bee­hive to see if I could get any pho­tos of any Evil Right Wing Blog­gers ™, but all I found was Dav­id Far­rar. And I failed to get his photo any­way, because I had the cam­era held high over the crowd & seem to have cap­tured Christine Rank­in’s decol­letage instead.

Yes, that is she. Lind­say Perigo is over to one side, I’d gone by the time he or any­one spoke though. But I said hello to Rod­ney Hide as I went & expressed sad­ness that he & Christine had not seen fit to enter­tain us with an impromptu fox­trot.

Cripes, Jesus, Christine Rankin, Dav­id Far­rar, Rod­ney Hide & Lind­say Perigo all in one day!
