EXHIBITORS INVITED NOW Lisa Lynch 021 800 809 Climate group apologises for graffiti around mall • By Sophie Cornish A CLIMATE change protest group admitted it “misjudged” how the New Brighton community would react after its supporters used graffiti to convey its message. Extinction Rebellion Otautahi is asking the community for “forgiveness” after members of the group used chalk, chalk paint, and normal paint to tag its logo and name around New Brighton Mall. Messages reading ‘Rebel 4 Life’, ‘Extinction Rebellion’ and posters about climate change were put up on store fronts and messages were sprayed and written on the footpath, shop windows and on seats. A post with more than 200 comments was made on a New Brighton community page, blasting the taggers with many people complaining the graffiti was not an appropriate way for the group to get their message across. Local resident Robbie Baigent said he has no problem with the group having a cause or drawing on pavements with chalk. •Turn to page 7 Poto WILLIAMS MP for Christchurch East Community Clinics I will be coming to your neighbourhood on a bi-monthly basis to hear your concerns.
