I'll do a map update on the Wellington #ConvoyNZ2022 occupation later this evening. Short answer is space wise nothing has changed.

Assorted observations from today's walk. For vibes.
One change on the Hill and Molesworth front: complete vehicle barriers now in place. Makes access difficult.

Are they for keeping people out, or keeping people in?
When you fail the roadside sobriety test:
This is new.
When you're in your van and you're having a normal one.
Seeing more of these tense small encounters between police and occupiers.

One of these dudes was trying to defuse the situation. One was not.

Okay. Now that I've cleared out of the action, here's roughly what I saw going on as the #Convoy2022NZ occupation was disassembled.

This was all around 4:45pm through to 7:45pm this evening. ImageImageImageImage
Gotta untangle your flag so you can signal distress properly.

This old geezer here was chewing that cops ear off like an old soak boring a bartender out of their mind. ImageImageImageImage
This was the state of the Lambton bus exchange during a lull, before things really kicked off. ImageImage

Police have moved in down Molesworth, then fanned through Aitken and (maybe?) Hill. Now in control of those areas.

At least five big two truck queued up. ImageImageImageImage
One of which has been put to work.

Okay hivemind: best bet for a COVID test in Wellington?
So it's good that the only place in the central city where you can collect a test even if you're a symptomatic close contact.
Long queue on Taranaki St but it moves fairly quick. I'm the only person over 25 here.
