A Restore Passenger Rail protester has vandalised Auckland car yards this morning in a protest against inequality and climate change.��

Restore Passenger Rail announced this morning that a supporter had spray-painted the windows of two Auckland luxury car yards at 100 and 119 Great North Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland.��

Restore Passenger Rail spokesperson Joseph J Fullerton said luxury cars were symbols of greed and climate change.��

“Their luxuries are our floods. Their greed is killing us and this new Government is encouraging it,” Fullerton said.��

Their campaign is calling for the restoration of an affordable nationwide passenger rail network and free urban public transport in New Zealand.��

“Those buying these obscenely expensive cars, up to $600,000 a shot, are getting richer while their excesses fuel more floods, cyclones and droughts.”��

It appears only the windows of the car yards were hit with spray paint and not the luxury cars.��

“Meanwhile food banks are getting busier than ever in the lead-up to Christmas. Climate breakdown and inequality are connected.��

“They’re the two evil twins, made worse by the greed symbolised in these luxury cars.”��

The Restore Passenger Rail campaign made headlines in October last year��when supporters repeatedly blocked traffic in Wellington and Auckland over 2022 and 2023.����

In a similar stunt in September, three protesters were arrested after the shop window of a car dealer in Wellington was vandalised.��

Peter Wham was charged with wilful damage after a Wellington luxury car dealer was sprayed with washable poster paint on September 14.��

“We are calling on all New Zealanders who care about the climate crisis to join Restore Passenger Rail,“ Fullerton said.��

“Together we have the power to build a better, fairer New Zealand.”��
