During the noon flag-flying event, at the Museum Reserve, and attended by about 30 people, Mr Simons said New Zealanders concerned about the issue and West Papuans were undertaking a shared journey towards ultimate freedom for West Papua.
Support group chairwoman Barbara Frame said the New Zealand Government should do more to raise the issue with Indonesia.
