Protesters who shut down highways across Wellington have struck again, spraying down the front of four MP offices with fake blood.
The group has targeted offices across Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington after their meeting with the Transport Minister last week did not go to plan.
James Cockle, a spokesperson for the group, told 九一星空无限 the minister told them he did not have the money to fund passenger rail, and it was not on his top 10 list for climate action.
The group say they have targeted the local offices of Finance Minister Grant Robertson, Transport Minister Michael Wood, Associate Finance Minister Megan Wood and Minister for Consumer Affairs David Clark, spraying bright red paint to signify the 鈥渂lood on their hands鈥.
聽鈥淵our inaction is leading to death around the world, blood is on your hands,鈥 Cockle said.
The group does not have any intention of stopping its disruption.
鈥淵ou can expect action to continue until we get action from the Government.鈥
Cockle said he is not concerned about being charged with vandalism, saying it would be 鈥渁n extreme overreach鈥 as everything they have sprayed on the offices is washable. They have even left a note for the cleaners saying the group will come and clean its 鈥渟tatement鈥 later today.
