A UK anti-trans activist who stirred up controversy went home early this weekend after she faced overwhelming opposition in Auckland.
Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull - also known as Posie Parker - was doused with tomato juice at her Albert Park event on Saturday, and was escorted away by police.
She then left the country before an event in Wellington yesterday - but thousands of trans advocates still turned up to Civil Square to protest her messages.
Those at the rally said Parker's and her supporters' absence made the rally all the more enjoyable.
Speak Up For Women supported her tour. Its spokesperson Suzanne Levy spoke to Kim Hill.
