We’ve had possibly our busiest morning ever on the Wellington rail network for the Hīkoi, with 40,000 people through the railway station. Crowd likely at least 50,000. If you’re heading out of town by train today, make a plan now because trains will only be running until 8:30pm.
Incredible scenes coming from the Hīkoi Mō Te Tiriti in Pōneke, Wellington today!

"Trump's plan would cut the GDP by 8.9 percent. Let me put that in perspective for you: This is roughly twice the amount the GDP went down during the financial crisis. So we would be looking at something between a recession and a depression." @SteveRattner https://t.co/8yi1fQtAdE
