Sailing great Sir Russell Coutts is currently in Wellington and said he will be at the protest at Parliament this evening. He told Newstalk ZB's Heather Du Plessis Allan that he's "keen to get down there". Although he is fully vaccinated, he said his motivation for travelling to the Capital was the fact mandates take away freedoms. He said he is doing this for the "future generation". Coutts said it was important to keep an "open mind". Coutts said in the conversation around vaccines and mandates has lacked "critical debate" allowing people to share perspectives. "I think there are a lot of lessons we can learn from this," he said. In a post made on Facebook last week, Coutts confirmed he planned to join the occupiers, noting he was not against vaccination – being vaccinated himself – but he was against forcing people to get them. "I'm not anti-vaccine (I'm vaccinated) but I'm definitely against forced vaccinations. "I'm also strongly opposed to the ever-increasing erosion of our human rights and the growing limitations on our freedom of choice. I believe in having the freedom to be able to question so-called "expert" opinions. "I'm against discrimination and the 'them and us' society that is being promoted by our current political leaders. I'm against creating different rights, laws and privileges based on race."
