New Zealand`s PM Jacinda Ardern said on Monday she felt demonstrations against a COVID-19 vaccine mandate now entering their second week were an "imported" phenomenon, and nothing like anything she had seen before in the country. Hundreds of protesters continue to occupy lawns in front of the distinctive `Beehive` parliament for a seventh day, ignoring repeated calls by the police to leave and unflawed by drenching rain over the weekend.
