Apple Protestors Descend On The
Capital
More than 1000 angry protestors
whose livelihood’s rely on getting kiwi apples into the
Australian market swarmed through the streets of Wellington
this afternoon. The protest was reasonably lively and a
good number of office workers and downtown commuters made
use of the free apples carted around by dozens of
tractors.
