Posie Parker and her supporters met with trans rights protesters in Albert Park.
“We’re going to win this war, women,” she said.
“And then I will come back, and I will come back at the invitation of the Prime Minister who wants to apologize to everyone.”
Thursday afternoon was the woman who tipped the juice on Keen-Minshull charged with common assault.
A police spokesman said a person has been summoned to appear in Auckland District Court.
“As the matter is before the courts, no further comment will be made at this time,” the spokesman said.
The woman accused of assault flew to Australia earlier this week after receiving threats to her safety.
Police confirmed on Wednesday that they were combing social media footage and searching CCTV footage of nearby shops and businesses.
