A Newmarket retailer says she will be closing her doors on Saturdays from now on after anti-vaccine mandate protesters caused havoc over the weekend, RNZ reports. Hundreds of protesters gathered in Auckland’s Domain where they disrupted children’s cricket matches before heading down Broadway forcing shoppers to go elsewhere and retailers to shut up shop. The Newmarket Business Association estimated the protest cost retailers up to $600,000 on what should have been the busiest shopping day in more than 100 days of lockdown.
