Policemen told the crowds to stick to the pavement (sidewalk for you yanks out there) and I didn't see any incidents of any kind myself, involving either the protesters or the bare breasted ladies that followed.
I understand though that there were a few 'drunken jeers' directed at the protesters, and also drinks containers, which I find sad and embarrassing.

The man behind this event has his little adult industry empire. Part of that empire includes a stip club called The White House. Hence the American flags.
PS, The blurriness is deliberate.

There was a protest against the 'Boobs on Bikes' parade by a group that felt that pornography is linked to sexual abuse. This young lady was protesting against that protest.
It was all very civil and the police went largely unnoticed (as far as I could tell).

Queen street was full of men, women, and indeed a few (accompanied and unaccompanied) children of all extractions. Mostly men unsurprisingly.

The parade may be called 'Boobs on Bikes' but this lady and others were riding atop vintage tanks. I couldn't get a decent shot of the tanks due to cops and crowds and the fear of being rolled over...

Bus shelters, rubbish bins, benches, letterboxes, and of course roofs, windows and baloneys were prime locations for a view.

The annual 'Boobs on Bikes' parade is quite popular among Aucklanders, despite the new mayor attempting to prevent it.
I overheard one bloke tell his pommie mate that this was one of our 'cultural events'. Well I suppose it is, although perhaps it would be nicer if it was boobs for boobs' sake as opposed to boobs for porn's sake.

Police form a barrier between the protesters and the expected motorcade carrying the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
As you can probably tell the weather was wet. It was very wet and photographing was a challenge. It was also very windy, with gusts of wind frequently threatening to blow me off my feet.
