No arrests or issues of note for police at today's mass protests.

Streets in towns and cities across the country were filled with the sounds of chanting and waiata, as thousands marched against the Government's stance on M膩ori issues.

Police Minister Mark Mitchell says the protests were peaceful - and wrapped up relatively quickly.

"They came along, they were peaceful, and they've left - so it seems to have gone well. There was a very good police presence there monitoring it."
