11.05: Students confronting Destiny march

Sat 5 Mar 2005 In: New Zealand Daily News

Students appear to be the predominant protesters confronting this morning's Destiny Fundamentalist Christian Defend the Legacy march as it heads up Auckland's main thoroughfare towards an anti-Civil Unions rally in Myers Park. Destiny church and political party members, led by their guru Brian Tamaki and a large kapa haka group dressed in white bomber jackets, have filled Queen Street up to Shortland Street, carrying professionally printed banners with Family Values and Next Generation-style messages. Eschewing the blackshirt image from their Wellington march on Parliament last year Destiny has outfitted its members in red, white and blue t-shirts. Shortly before 11am they were confronted by a smaller group of mainly student protesters with hand-lettered "Not my Destiny" messages led by a young man in a Brian Tamaki mask and religious robes carrying a placard reading "Let us Prey."
