| Description |
Violent protests took place on January 15 1970 when US Vice President Spiro Agnew visited New Zealand. The protests were anti-Vietnam war demonstrations. Agnew’s visit was his last stop on a 25-day, 60,000-km, 11-nation goodwill tour of Pacific and Asian countries. More than 500 protesters greeted the Vice-President when he arrived at Auckland’s Intercontinental Hotel. The police made 15 arrests on the first day of the visit. The images shown here are from a Department of Internal Affairs file related to the official preparations behind Agnew’s 1970 visit. The itinerary of day 1 (January 15) is shown as well as a thank you letter from Spiro Agnew after this visit. The disruptions to his tour by anti-Vietnam protesters were not a major hindrance as he didn’t mention any issues in his letter and thanked the Department of Internal Affairs for the attention to detail they had taken in arranging his visit.
