Former Wellington mayor Andy Foster has opened up about the handling of the Parliament Protest.
It's one year to the day since the 23 day occupation that took over the Parliament Precinct and part of central Wellington was brought to an end by police.
Foster told Newstalk ZB's Wellington Mornings Police Commissioner Andrew Coster was put in the difficult situation of how to handle the group.
He says there was a real concern of a breakdown in law and order -- and if the police went in hard they could end up with 100s of people causing damage.
