Update on policing at Ihumātao protest

Dialogue is continuing between police and organisers at the Ihumātao protest site.

As part of this ongoing discussion police are looking at options to reduce its overall presence at the site and return staff to normal duties, while still ensuring we meet our obligations regarding the safety of everyone involved.

Both police and protest organisers agree that safety is the priority in the current situation, meaning that a police presence at the site will continue.
