Matt McLaughlin: Hoff Hospitality Group Director hopes Wellington's planned protest action blows over fast

Wellington businesses are hoping that today’s planned protest events blow over fast.  Police numbers have been boosted, with officers redeployed in the capital ahead of planned protest action today.  Brian Tamaki's Freedoms and Rights Coalition is one of several groups demonstrating.  A number of roads near Parliament are blocked off and some public servants are being urged to stay home.  Hoff Hospitality Group Director Matt McLaughlin told Mike Hosking that he hopes it's low-key and demonstrators all go home after.  He says Wellington is stalled, its pre-election, and trade's slow at this time of year so this is the last thing they need.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
