A large crowd of protesters, including many on motorbikes, descended on Parliament to voice their opposition to lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
People gathered in Civic Square earlier in the day, while security was high at Parliament.
Willis St was blocked off, as hundreds of people on motorbikes, and others on foot, moved through the city towards Parliament.
The protesters played Kora and Michael Jackson through loudspeakers, before moving the protest onto Parliament's lawn.
Two Tino Rangatiratanga flags were hung upside down at the front of the protest, alongside dozens of New Zealand flags and a scattering of 'Trump' flags.
A haka was performed, with many of the protesters participating.
After speeches around the vaccine mandate, division of families and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, the crowd moved up onto the forecourt, and stood against a barrier in front of Parliament's steps.
Some threw tennis balls up onto the steps and others hurled verbal abuse at media. Water was thrown at one point at a camera operator.
Footage also shows a man confronting a police officer and a security guard at the steps of Parliament. Another protester comes over, checks if the security guard is OK, then lifts up the barrier that had been knocked over, putting it back in place. People can be seen attempting to pull the original man back.
Police and security formed a barrier, before the crowd largely dispersed.
