By Elijah Hill of On a busy street in New Plymouth, a portrait of a dead woman sits in front of a skeleton. It's Thursday, and Dave Devenport, "a jack of all trades and a master of none", has been there since midnight. It's the first protest he's ever held, and so far it's just him, the skeleton and his dog Kelly May. The woman in the picture is Janice Giddy, she was Dave's partner who died in 2018, "a lovely, lovely woman," Dave says.
