Bank staff have been shut out of their workplace by climate protesters who have formed a human barrier outside the ANZ in central Dunedin.
About a dozen staff have gathered on a nearby corner as the protesters sing and shout slogans.
Police are at the scene talking to both staff and protesters.

The action has been organised by Climate Liberation Aotearoa which is targeting ANZ branches across the country.
The group says it wants the bank to stop “enabling the planned coal expansion on the Denniston Plateau”.
It says other banks have committed to withdrawing banking services from fossil fuel industry but ANZ “is lagging far behind”. – Allied Media
