Party vote distribution

Te Tai Tonga (lit. 'The South Coast') is a New Zealand parliamentary Māori electorate, returning one Member of Parliament to the New ZealandHouse of Representatives. It was established for the1996 general election, replacingSouthern Maori. It covers all of theSouth Island,Stewart Island, theChatham Islands, and parts of bothWellington City and theHutt Valley. The current MP for Te Tai Tonga isTākuta Ferris ofTe Pāti Māori.

Population centres

[edit]

Te Tai Tonga is geographically by far the largest of the seventy-one electorates of New Zealand, covering all of theSouth Island,Stewart Island, theChatham Islands, all the islands in theSouthern Ocean and a large part of theWellington urban area, namelyWellington City as far asChurton Park, andLower Hutt City south ofNaenae and west ofWainuiomata. Besides Wellington, the main centres in Te Tai Tonga areNelson,Christchurch,Timaru,Oamaru,Dunedin,Queenstown, andInvercargill.

As a Māori electorate, Te Tai Tonga overlaps with the sixteen South Island electorates, as well asRongotai andWellington Central, and parts ofŌhāriu andHutt South.

Te Tai Tonga's size was marginally decreased after a review of boundaries in 2007, when the suburbs ofNaenae andTaitā were moved intoIkaroa-Rāwhiti.^[1] The 2013/14 redistribution did not further alter the boundaries of the electorate.^[2] The 2019/20 redistribution adjusted the north-east boundary to align with the northern boundary of Hutt South.^[3]

The main iwi of Te Tai Tonga areNgāi Tahu/Kāi Tahu,Kāti Māmoe andWaitaha, and in the North Island,Te Āti Awa ki Whakarongotai,Ngāti Toa Rangatira andNgāti Poneke,^[4] that latter of which is not iwi in the traditional sense, but an urban pan-tribal grouping. The Chatham Islands was invaded by members ofNgāti Mutunga andNgāti Tama, and their descendants live there today, alongside the indigenousMoriori.

History

[edit]

Te Tai Tonga was established for the 1996 general election, replacing Southern Maori which had existed since thefirst Māori elections in 1868. The 1996 election was the first to use theMixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system and a new formula for calculating the number of electorates, which resulted in an increase in the number ofMāori electorates from four to five.

The main difference involves the separation of theWairarapa andHawke's Bay into seats wholly located in the North Island—initiallyTe Puku O Te Whenua, and since 1999Ikaroa-Rāwhiti.

Whetū Tirikatene-Sullivan had served as Southern Maori's representative in Parliament since 1967—during the terms of five different governments and nine Prime Ministers. However, theNew Zealand First Party challengerTū Wyllie tipped her out of the seat in 1996, as sixty years of Labour Party control of the Māori electorates ended.

In1999 New Zealand First lost its electoral footing after an unpopular term in office, firstly as junior government-coalition partner and then following an internal split in the party, with much of the party's original parliamentary caucus leaving the party ("waka-jumping") to prop up the government ofJenny Shipley (although Wyllie himself did not join the breakaway group). Along with a drop in the New Zealand First vote from thirteen to four percent nationwide came the return of the Māori electorates to Labour and the election ofMahara Okeroa to Parliament as the Labour Party MP for Te Tai Tonga.

A political difference of opinion between many Māori and the Labour Party emerged in 2004, whenHelen Clark'sLabour government introduced theSeabed and Foreshore Bill, claiming the coastline for the Crown and in the process providing the catalyst for the launch of theMāori Party (7 July 2004), which went on to win four of the seven Māori seats (but not the plurality of the party votes cast in those seats) at the2005 general election. Te Tai Tonga did not form part of this electoral sea-change, with Okeroa's majority slashed from 8,000 to around 2,500 despite his facing two fewer contenders than in2002.

Rahui Katene won the electorate for the Māori Party in the2008 election, defeating the incumbent.^[5] She was defeated after a single term; Rino Tirikatene, the nephew of Tirikatene-Sullivan, won the electorate in2011 with a margin of 1,475 votes.^[6] He was returned in the2014 and2017 elections with increased majorities.^[7]
