Breakfast is reporting that Auckland council officials, backed by a large contingent of police are evicting the stragglers from Aoatea Square.
That's good news; we'll update as more information becomes available.
UPDATE: Stuff reports:
Police and security guards have returned to Auckland's Aotea Square this morning, removing gear belonging to Occupy protesters.
At least 30 officers were at the site and had formed a perimeter around the protesters, who were taking down their tents.
About eight tents had been taken down, leaving four remaining, and security guards were taking down the fence.
One man in a hooded sweatshirt tried to stop security guards taking his couch, yelling "That's my property".
He was surrounded by several security guards, who then started removing his tent.
Protesters yelled "assault" and "willful damage" as the tent ripped and the man tried to stop it being taken.
They vowed to stay in Aotea Square.
Once again, get ready for an outpouring of venom from the Left, especially if Penny Bright gets arrested.

Oh I do hope Penny gets arrested, again.
The only problem is that she tends to clog up the system with her insistence of representing herself.
She makes a truth of the old saying that one who represents themself has a fool for a client QH. Maybe you should offer, as a good citizen and legal beagle...
Hi!
I am Penny Bright Media Spokesperson for the Water Pressure Group.
Through my involvement with this group I have become a Judicially recognised ‘Public Watchdog’ on Metrowater and Auckland regional governance matters.
I have also been publicly acknowledged as an “Anti-corruption campaigner”. I love media publicity and love getting arrested.
I regularly stand for Mayor and for Parliament and jump upon pretty much every bandwagon you can name.
If you support the ‘self-funded’ work I am doing – your donations are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks!
No, you're a bloody loony.
Read the comment again Murray, focusing on the third and fourth paragraphs...
You allow people to impersonate well known figures here. That's irresponsible.
The occupiers have irritated you for months and months now. You've not been able to influence their behavior at all.
They win.
I2,
No way. Never in a million years.
Anyway, I've just done a pro-bono job for a client who has fallen on hard times. Thats it for the year or untill I decide otherwise.
The clever thing would be to detain her, put her in the paddy wagon until all her bits and pieces are tided up and then release her in an hour or so without charge.
That saves the prosecution time being wasted. The down-side is a private claim for unlawful arrest or similar but that is something PB has to prove rather than the police.
`I have also been publicly acknowledged as an “Anti-corruption campaigner”.
Penny if that is so where were you when the corrupt Clark, Cullen, Peters and a few others were rorting New Zealanders?
The reality is that these people are just acting out. Rather than representing the public, they're actually getting in the road.
"The 99%" is a catchy slogan, but any thinking person knows full well that it's false by default.
You allow people to impersonate well known figures here. That's irresponsible.
Um, so you post a comment, then you attack the blog you posted it on as "irresponsible" because they didn't cut you off.
I'm sure our host will lose a lot of sleep over that one!
Quite so Scrubone; the 0.005% is more like it.
Penny Bright, the female version of Cameron Slater.
