Go to a popular bar in Hamilton and you can see over 1500 people through it on a busy evening. We dont have them as large as Auckland.

Ah, but Hamilton is 'Where its Happening' which must be one of the most stuppid catch phrases for any town/city in NZ. While the opposition parties are definately where its not happening.

Take a rugby match at Eden Park and even with empty seats, can easily get over 30,000.

The protests are a joke, with the protestors about outnumbered by media in some instances.

Eg take a little rain. The organising melted in the rain and the few protestors shrunk to even fewer in the wet. It wasn't even cold in Auckland! Imagine a frost, or a bit of snow like they get further south.

Its like the Maori protests where they hired a few buses with govt funding to walk the length of NZ. They drove around to find spots to create the most disruption, then exited the buses to walk a few metres for the media coverage. Protesting at its most pathetic. Then after getting some takeaways/rest stops from the hard walk off the bus, everyone back on the free bus and onto the next disruption. Some were even paid to be on that protest!

Typically a protestor is collecting welfare as working NZ tends to go to work, not yelling/screaming and waving political signage paid for out of taxpayers money for this/that opposition MP's office.
