Around 40 people have been protesting outside a building owned by the Tongan government in Auckland.

They are showing support for a strike by thousands of Tongan civil servants which is heading into its second month.

Inspector Andy Brill says police were called to the protest on St Andrews Rd, which he describes as peaceful.

He says most protestors have now left the area.
