Show Notes
There's high expectations for a lawyer's tactics in defending Brian and Hannah Tamaki.
The pair are facing court over organising protests in Auckland during Covid-19 lockdowns.
Brian Tamaki faces four counts of breaching the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act, with possible penalties of up to six months in prison and thousands in fines.
Lawyer Steve Cullen says it'll be interesting to see what arguments are mustered by experienced defender, Ron Mansfield.
He says Mansfield could argue the case under freedom of assembly or freedom of religion provisions in the Bill of Rights Act.
