“It’s time to take aim and launch a full assault - exposing Islam, the UN, and every foreign religion and ideology hijacking our country,” Tamaki claimed earlier in a press release.

In November last year, Tamaki led a “Make New Zealand Great Again” rally from Waikato to Auckland.

Tamaki was condemned by the Prime Minister when his Destiny Church groups Man Up and Legacy stormed a children’s library event in February last year.
