Protestors in Whanganui allege that one of their members was injured outside the Quality Inn Collegiate in Whanganui this morning when her foot was run over by MP Chester Borrows’ car. Video Bevan Conley

About a dozen protesters greeted Paula Bennett as she arrived for a meeting in Whanganui this morning.
The Social Housing and State Services Minister was speaking to a breakfast gathering of the Whanganui Chamber of Commerce at the Collegiate Motor Inn on Liverpool Street.

The protest was mainly in opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, though there was a lone beneficiary complaining loudly about social welfare.
Police were present but there were no serious incidents.
