#BHN Concerns around new mask rules | Time to talk republic? | Students to pay to protest

It seems that the number of professionals within various health industries voicing concerns about the new mask rules and restrictions as the Government drops the traffic light system is growing. How was it on the first day for you?   With the passing of the Queen it's a completely appropriate time to talk Republic or Commonwealth. There re, however, many intricacies for those who would want us to be a Republic to work out and explain. Marama Davidson is also using this time to remind everyone of the agreement between the crown and Maori and why we need to remember that as well.   Wellington students wanting to hold a march for Climate Change are being told by the Council they need to pay for traffic management. A bill of $5,000 would be issued and students now are crying foul stating it's impinging their right to speech...is it? Does it make any difference if we recognise that they have held two other marches and the Council picked up the tab for those one? We'll look at this tonight
