WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Thousands of protesters gathered in New Zealand's city squares, motorway over-bridges and in front of the country's parliament on Tuesday to protest the new government's policies that they believe are racist.

The protest action was called for by political party Te Pati Maori and coincides with the opening of New Zealand's 54th parliament later in the day.
