Up to 80 protesters marched through Tauranga's streets on Saturday objecting to the Government's GCSB and TICS Bills.
The marchers met at 2pm outside Tauranga Police Station and marched to the Devonport Rd offices of Tauranga National MP and cabinet minister Simon Bridges.
Speeches were then made against the controversial Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) and Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Bills.
Mr Bridges was not present.
The protest was organised by local members of Stop The GCSB Bill, which has more than 13,000 supporters. The group is concerned by proposed extensions to the powers of the Government's spy agency.
