In a media release, Tamaki and the Tu Tangata Riders said they were making a stand to change the government because they were tired of their freedoms and rights "being violated by this present government".

Tamaki said, "He wants to protect the Kiwi Way of Life."

Police stopped traffic in the central city as the large group of riders made their way to Aotea Square where Tamaki delivered his "Let's Get NZ Back" speech.
