Nature of police involvement with Julian Batchelor event 29/05/23

Sue Boyde made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Sue Boyde to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Sue Boyde

Dear New Zealand Police,
I attended Julian Batchelor's Anti-co-governance talk of 29 May 2023. When I arrived at 6:45 for 7 pm start, I saw 4+ police cars parked at the bottom gate, and police keeping people from going up (mainly Maori people).

At the door of the hall I saw police acting as security. In the course of the talk, whenever a member of the audience displeased Julian Batchelor in any way, he called on police to eject the person under threat of arrest.

Police told Stuff "Officers were called when event organisers asked a small group of protesters who made it inside the meeting & voiced their disapproval of the event to leave." However this is not true, officers were on site and enforcing Julian Batchelor's wishes for at least 30 minutes before the event started.

All told I counted 16 police cars present.

Under OIA, could you please tell me
1) The name of the senior police person responsible for assigning these police to the event
2) How many cars and police in total were assigned, and what districts did they come from
3) How many police remained in those districts for ordinary policing duties on the evening of 29 May 2023.

Yours faithfully,
Sue Boyde

Dear New Zealand Police,

There was only one Julian Batchelor event on 29 May 2023, and it took place at Lindale Village just north of Paraparaumu.
