Day of Action against move-on orders w/ Kick Back founder Aaron Hendry: 18th March, 2026

Community groups across Aotearoa are organising a National Day of Action to protest against the move-on orders proposed by the government. The Day of Action will be on Sunday, 29th of March, criticising the targeting of people who are already struggling on the streets.

The proposed changes would see police officers empowered to force homeless people to relocate, for behaviours such as begging or seeking to inhabit a space. Multiple groups have opposed the changes, claiming they punish people unfairly for something largely outside of their control. 

To discuss the move-on orders and the day of action, Wire host Alex spoke to founder of Kick Back, Aaron Hendry.
