The Police Minister says it’s important for police to be politically neutral.
There have been reports on social media of police officers helping to paint signs for today’s hīkoi.
Up to 30,000 people are expected to join the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti marching on Parliament in opposition to ACT’s Treaty Principles Bill.
Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking he’s aware of the reports, and has discussed the matter with the Police Commissioner.
He says that in order to maintain public confidence, it’s critical that the police are seen as politically neutral.
