ACT leader David Seymour has met with a Parliament protest “intermediary” to deliver conditions to be met for dialogue with lawmakers.

[…] “Yesterday Alistair got in touch with me and said, ‘I think the situation is changing, I think the worst elements of this protest are being removed, I think that it has become possible to work with it and I believe that it is time for some dialogue’.

“I answered Alistair’s request and met with several people representing the emergent leadership of the protest, at his pub outside the back of the Backbencher. I did this because I believe it is time for a mature deescalation of this situation.

[…] Seymour, who was joined by ACT MP Nicole McKee, said the conditions he delivered included removing vehicles blocking the roads around Parliament and Victoria University, and a guarantee that no more abuse would be hurled at passersby.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has so far refused to engage with the protesters
