Tensions high on NZ national day as protestors hit the streets

Tensions are high on New Zealand’s national holiday as protestors hit the streets of the nation’s capital. Waitangi Day commemorates the signing of a treaty between the British Crown and Maori in 1840. This year commemorations are being overshadowed by tensions between Maori and the new government's policies. An estimated 2,000 people in Wellington have marched from the war memorial to Waitangi Park. The protest is in response to the new government’s proposed policy changes.
