South vs West battle in Tāmaki Makaurau

From Morning Report, 7:47 am on 9 October 2020

It's looking like South versus West Auckland in the battle for the Tāmaki Makaurau electorate. 

Labour's Peeni Henare has held the seat for the previous two terms - winning it by an almost 20 percent margin last time out

But his two high-profile rivals, the Māori Party's John Tamihere and the Green Party's Marama Davidson have picked up the wero - and they' are backed by solid voter bases in West and South Auckland respectively. 

Meriana Johnsen travelled across the electorate and filed this report.
