NZ Police do not hold any information on the two subjects. Further information: Both subjects are associated to NZ social media commentator Chantelle Baker and are expected to join her at the protest in Parliament, posing as reporters. • Avi YEMINI is noted by commentators as a Far right extremism commentator. Avi Yemini has proudly called himself at a London protest in 2018- "the world's proudest Jewish Nazi" • Rukshan FERNANDES is noted as a misinformation super spreader. Rukshan has been labelled as "hero" of anti-mandate, anti-vax, anti-govt movement.
