KIWI PERSONALITIES JOIN THE CAMPAIGN
It’s about love.
That’s the message from a large group of prominent New Zealanders who feature in a new video in support of the Campaign for Marriage Equality.
New Zealand’s Got Talent host Tamati Coffey led the video initiative, which also stars household names such as Alison Mau, Rachel Hunter, Anika Moa, Dame Cath Tizard, Oliver Driver, Nigel Latta, Orene Ai’i and Danyon Loader.
Coffey says he was
overwhelmed at how many well-known faces were keen to
support the campaign. “Many New Zealanders have come out
in support of Marriage Equality and it’s time for those of
us in the public eye to stand up and be counted too,” he
says. “It’s been a big team effort, all for love and
equality.”
The video, directed by Scott Spicer and
produced by Sage Haggart, is intended as a call to action
New Zealanders at home and overseas to support the Campaign
for Marriage Equality and to share the video far and
wide.
