Hunua (New Zealand electorate)
Together with a northward shift of New Zealand's population, this resulted in five new electorates having to be created in the upper part of the North Island.
[7][8] The electorate was re-created due to the 1996 change to mixed-member proportional (MMP) voting and the resulting reduction in the number of constituencies.
The second historical Hunua electorate contained a selection of dormitory towns in south Auckland, of which Papakura was the largest.
The new Hunua electorate was based around the southern and eastern fringes of the Auckland region, and contained the Franklin District towns of Pukekohe, Waiuku, Bombay, as well as Clevedon, Whitford and Maraetai from eastern Manukau.
[citation needed] Hunua was abolished again for the 2020 general election, with the eastern half being incorporated into Papakura, a small section around Ormiston and Mission Heights becoming part of the new Takanini electorate, and the western half being merged into a recreated Port Waikato.
