New Zealand Police APEC Operations
Detective Superintendent Peter Marshall, APEC
Operation Commander, says that police are in direct contact
with wide ranging groups in relation to protest action
during APEC.
"We initiated these meetings so we could
gauge how many protestors to expect, where to expect them
and to help facilitate wherever possible," Mr Marshall
says.
"It's their right to protest and we are more than
happy for them to do it. In fact we are doing everything we
can to help, including sending out a letter to the groups
outlining what their legal rights are and helping them find
suitable places to stage their protest.
"Hopefully this
way we can avoid arrests."
Mr Marshall says that
photographing and videoing protest action is a common
practice for police and will be done openly during
APEC.
"The staff involved are dressed in police overalls
and clearly visible as police," he says. "It is done for
numerous reasons including assisting in the investigation of
any complaints about police actions as well as the
identification and prosecution of
offenders."

For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
