2011-12-23 - ONE NEWS - OCCUPY AUCKLAND TO OCCUPY VICTORIA PARK Video

Occupy Auckland have held a general assembly and have decided to move their campsite to Victoria Park.

The protest group have been ordered to leave their current campsite in Aotea Square by 2.45pm today.

However the group says they will maintain a "people presence" at Aotea Square, while moving their tents.

They are in the process of packing up the tents now, and say they hope to have all the tents moved by the eviction deadline.

Meanwhile, a handful of protestors have resumed their occupation of Dunedin's Octagon in solidarity with anti-globalisation demonstrators in Auckland's Aotea Square.

The protestors have pitched a tent and scrawled the slogans "Solidarity with Auckland" and "Kia Kaha" on the base of the Robbie Burns statue.

Protest leader Kieran Trass refused to comment on how long the latest occupation would last.

Protestors had previously camped in the central Dunedin Park from October 15 until Tuesday of this week.

70 days of occupation

The Occupy movement has been living in Aotea Square since October 15, when they began a protest as part of a global movement demonstrating against corporate greed.

The group went to Auckland District Court yesterday to try and have an injunction imposed by Judge David Wilson, requiring them to leave the site, put aside until their appeal of the decision is heard.

Had the judge ruled in the protesters' favour it would have meant they could remain in the square until at least February, when the High Court would be in a position to hear the appeal.

About 40 Occupy supporters protested outside the court yesterday while the hearing was held.
