Hilarious footage captured the moment peaceful anti-vaxxer demonstrators politely put back up metal barriers after they were knocked down by another protester.
Authorities in New Zealand's capital Wellington set up a ring of steel around the country's parliament on Tuesday as thousands of unmasked protesters rallied against Covid vaccination mandates.
One protester was filmed knocking down a barricade as he gestured angrily at security guards blocking access to the parliament building.
The man followed his act of civil defiance by shouting 'f**k you' at officers, but saw his work quickly undone by three other protesters who put the metal barrier back up again.
Police were out in force for the Freedom and Rights Coalition protest in Wellington, New Zealand on Tuesday
Police had blocked off all but two entrances to the country's parliament building - known colloquially as the Beehive - as protesters marched through Wellington's CBD.
Demonstrators held messages such as 'Kiwis are not lab rats' and 'coercion is not consent' as they called for an end to compulsory vaccination orders and continuing social distancing restrictions.
