A picket guards a shopfront after unemployed demonstrators ran down Queen Street, Auckland, smashing windows and looting shops. The protesters' actions followed the police batoning of their leader, Jim Edwards, at a protest outside Auckland’s town hall on 14 April. Hundreds were injured and dozens were arrested in the fracas, which an official enquiry blamed on the protesters.
