Enforce eviction notice on OccupyAuckland

Occupy Auckland protestors have been given 48 hours to leave their campsite at Aotea Square. (issued 21-12-2011) An Auckland District Court judge this morning (21/12/11) ordered the protestors to remove all their signs and banners and move out of the campsite by Friday 23 December 2011. The protestors have been camping in the city centre square since October 15 2011. Auckland Council said it welcomed the judge's decision to grant its request for a permanent injunction on the occupation. Occupy Auckland spokesman Chris Glenn said the movement was in the process of lodging an appeal against the ruling. Many in the camp were resolved to stay there through Christmas despite the eviction order, he said. So ... now they are basically saying they will continue to break the law! How can we condone this sort of blatant disregard for the laws of our land? How can we allow a minority group to push their own agenda on to us? How can we allow them to squat in our city and destroy facilities meant for all of us to enjoy? How can we allow them to create an area in our city that is unsafe (there have been numerous reports of drugs being sold, sexual assualt at other sites etc.)? This is not allowed! The courts have ordered them out, now they should go! If we allow this, what's next? It's a slippery slope to anarchy people! We cannot allow this dangerous prescedent to be set. Think about protecting the future of our cities, the future of our lovely country.
