A Wellington eatery is inviting customers to vote on the controversial Treaty Principles Bill with a special-edition Kiwi burger. The burger will be on Ernesto’s Cocina Cubana’s menu from Monday - in time for the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti protesters, who are due to arrive in the capital on Tuesday. The capital’s city and regional councils are preparing for disruption on main roads and motorways, while public transport capacity will be boosted to help ease the influx of people.
Ernesto’s owner Steve Drummond said diners can register their informal vote on the bill by choosing a “Yes” or “No” burger..
