LIVE: PM speaks as police and protesters face off

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks to RNZ as police and protesters are facing off this morning near Parliament.

Police and protesters are facing off in two streets near Parliament, as trucks and forklift drivers arrive with concrete blocks to reinforce the perimeter of the occupation.

Protesters have been yelling "hold the line" and "keep it peaceful".

Videos posted to social media show forklifts installing concrete barricades in the streets, and multiple people being arrested as crowds of protesters push back.

The protest is in its 14th day.

More to come...

-RNZ.
