Business Law Discussion

In 2020 and 2021, the New Zealand Government adopted strict measures to prevent the spread of the global Covid-19 pandemic in New Zealand. These measures were more successful than in most other countries and the majority of people supported the measures.

By the end of 2021, however, an increasingly forceful minority, especially those who had lost their jobs due to vaccination mandates required by law, had begun to protest throughout New Zealand. In early 2022 a group numbering over 1000 illegally occupied Parliament grounds in the capital city of Wellington, blocking public access and preventing access to nearby shops and businesses.
