The good news about the arrival of the protest is that after today, it's over. 

This has been one of the more misrepresented activities in recent years. 

It's hard to know what it is actually about, or whether those taking part even know what it's about. 

Is it about the Treaty Principles Bill? Is it about a general attitude towards the Government and their Māori policies? Is it a PR stunt for the Māori Party? 

And perhaps most importantly of all - what does it achieve? 

The answer, of course, is nothing. 

If it is about the bill, it dies after the select committee process and, even if it didn’t, although you are more than justified to protest, a protest doesn’t change the right of a Government to do what they promised they were going to do. 

It's called democracy. 

Democracy is slightly complicated by MMP, which may or may not produce what you thought it might. But democracy was what led to MMP in the first place because we voted for it. 

The two winners out of this so far are the Māori Party, who have got a lot of attention and drummed up good numbers in various parts of the country for their campaign. 

They have of course alienated themselves from many, but they don't care, and you were never voting for them anyway. 

The other is David Seymour who, whether you agree with him or not, has argued coherently and eloquently. 

Not performing so well includes the media who, yet again, have sided too often with the protest. I saw a reporter literally singing as part of her reportage. I saw a reporter dispute official figures from the police for the turn out, as though a dispute is fact. 

Jenny Shipley talking of civil war was as astonishing as anything. At least Chris Finlayson, in weighing in, kept his head. 

In a country with real and serious problems, a bill destined for the waste bin is not worth the energy this has been given. 

Our priorities are all over the place. We have looked shabby, unhinged, violent, and low rent. 

We are not living up to expectation, or our potential. This is not the country I grew up in, or indeed love. 

It is a wayward place in desperate need of some serious leadership and even more discipline.

Wellington business owners are expecting a peaceful protest. 

The Hīkoi mō te Tiriti march has arrived in Wellington and will soon march to Parliament, protesting ACT’s Treaty Principles Bill. 

Up to 30,000 people are expected to join the protest, disrupting traffic in the city. 

Business Central Chief Executive Simon Arcus expects a "low impact" day. 

But he told Mike Hosking there is some anxiety, particularly for businesses in the area around Parliament and the Wellington Railway Station.

Rhys Darby is returning to his roots. 

In the last decade, Kiwis have gotten more used to seeing the comedian on the big screen than on the stage, but that’s about to change. 

Darby has announced his first comedy tour in more than a decade, returning to Kiwi stages next year with ‘The Legend Returns’. 

He told Mike Hosking that he can’t wait to hit the stage again. 

“I had the most fun, like in the last six months, getting ready for the show,” Darby said. 

“I’m still working on material, and now I’m really, really confident.” 

Darby’s been doing a few gigs in the US as he prepares, but the show he plans to bring our way is still being created and workshopped.  

“I found out recently that I’m really good at creating stuff on the spot for my shows,” he revealed. 

“A lot of my previous shows were quite scripted, and they would have a narrative and I, you know, but this one... I’m really feeling much more loosey goosey and having fun with the audience.” 

Tickets for 'The Legend Returns' are on sale from today.
