Chaos in the Capital

PRESS RELEASE

21ST MARCH 2024

Brian Tamaki has spoken up strongly this morning stating, “I Call for the Mayor of Wellington, Tory Whanau, to resign immediately if the Wellington Council does not cancel the investigations into broadcasting of Islamic Prayer Calls that they passed last week. The 11 Councillors who voted for this need to also publicly apologise.”

Brian Tamaki states, “This is not Mecca…this is New Zealand.  We consider this an insult to the honour of our WW2 Soldiers who died fighting in Gallipoli, against Muslim soldiers, to protect our Christian country from invasion.” 

Heker Robertson, Deputy Leader of Vision NZ and Destiny Church Pastor from Upper Hutt says many Wellington residents have had enough of Tory Whanau’s Council’s incompetence and embarrassing antics. He states, “We will Protest at the Council Premises and call on Wellingtonians to Stand Up to the Chaos in the Capital.”

Last week the Wellington Council passed an amendment snuck through by mayor Tory Whanau without any warning, at the last minute in a District Plan meeting. The amendment states “Whanau also wants changes to allow broadcasted calls to prayer to be played from loudspeakers on mosques and other religious buildings.”
