For the last 63 years Auckland's Tamaki electorate has been a true blue seat, a mere tap in for National. But the ACT Party believes that incumbent MP Simon O'Connor is on shaky politcal ground: He's a mere footnote on National's party list at 54, while his ultra-conservative views on abortion, same-sex marriage and euthenasia have some constituents looking elsewhere for their representative in Parliament. Enter Act Party deputy leader Brooke van Velden: young, female, socially liberal and with significant resources being poured into her campaign, she's seen as having a genuine chance of turning Tamaki yellow. Our reporter Louise Ternouth visited both candidates on the campaign trail, just seven weeks out from the election.
