Hannah Tamaki, Destiny Church pastor and leader of Vision New Zealand, is contesting the Tamaki Makaurau by-election to continue the momentum from her previous campaigns. She believes her long-standing work in South Auckland, spanning 27 years, gives her insight into the needs of urban Māori and Pacific communities. Her campaign focuses on family, education, and offering a fresh perspective.
Tamaki emphasises that while her faith shapes her, she’s not campaigning on behalf of the church. She wants to be judged on her personal merits, not religious affiliation. She’s proud of her contributions to education and community development and sees this by-election as a chance for voters to evaluate her leadership before the next general election. This time, she says, the campaign is hers alone
