    High expectations for a lawyer's tactics - defending Brian and Hannah Tamaki

    High expectations for a lawyer's tactics - defending Brian and Hannah Tamaki


    They're facing court over organising protests in Auckland during covid lockdowns.

    Brian Tamaki faces four counts of breaching the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act, - with possible penalties of up to six months in prison and thousands in fines.

    Lawyer Steve Cullen says it'll be interesting to see what arguments are mustered by experienced defender, Ron Mansfield.

    He says Mansfield could argue the case under freedom of assembly or freedom of religion provisions - in the Bill of Rights Act.
