From Rugby First to NZ First – Taine Randall

The Hawke’s Bay Property Investors Association is pleased to welcome Taine Randall, former All Black and now a New Zealand First MP, as he shares the story of his journey from elite sport to public service. Known for his leadership on the field, Taine brings that same discipline and clarity of purpose to his work in Parliament, shaped by his deep connection to regional communities and the challenges they face. His reflections on resilience, transition, and the lessons learned across two very different arenas offer a compelling backdrop to his vision for New Zealand’s future — one centred on strong regions, practical decision?making, and a commitment to long?term stability. Members will have the opportunity to hear his insights firsthand and gain a sense of how his experiences continue to influence the way he approaches the issues shaping our country.
