Description
Date1st January 1960Geo location[1]
The Waitati Militia are a 'notorious' brigade, originally established to protest the Vietnam war, who now stage elaborate mock battles, among themselves and with other communities. Their weaponry generally consists of an arsenal of bad poetry, insults and missiles comprising soft toys and food items - the messier the better. Their military insignia is teapot-inspired, and tea features significantly in their campaigns. They are said to be one of New Zealand’s longest serving pacifist warfare theatre groups.
