Nice idea. (But where do I get a life-size cut-out of Lynne of Tawa?)

It could be interesting to see where everyone's from and remind the public and media that we've come from all over.

... or a red labour rosette with the labour MPs name on it, just to show intent at next election??

If there was ever a flower that was representative of politicians it would have to be a dry Meat flower

Can I bring a sign saying
"Increase our ACC levys and we'll bring back Winston"
??????

Seriously though, I'm thinking "ACC, no fault? My arse!"

"Hmmm cute arse....BANG!"

We will park where we're told, but we don't need to be quiet while protesting! I've got some extras which I'll hand out on the day to those who can put them to good use

I think we can all get a good idea of how we are going to be treated by the media by the DomPost "Last Worder" entry today. It reports on a "Hard Core Biker" (self-described!!) who has suggested that we report any injury as being caused by riding a mountain bike. Although the post was obviously tongue in cheek, the item begins

"Motorcyclists ... are conspiring to distort official accident statistics by pinning their injuries on pushbikes."

Well folks - that's how it's gonna be!

How totally wrong, rude and underhanded!!! I would never blame any accident I had on falling off a bike!! I only fall off ladders and down stairs!

I stopped buying this rag a year ago - get all my news and important stuff online. I occasionally browse the rag for free while waiting for my on-the-way-to-work coffee to be made - and don't appear to have missed much.
