I'm not very well informed on 'The divine mother' so went looking & found this:

"Hannah was also questioned by host Kate Hawkesby if it was true that Destiny Church-owned GP practices were getting money for giving COVID-19 vaccination.
"We don't have our own practice. We lease outside of our building to a medical centre," she said.
But she admitted they do receive rental income from leasing the car park outside their church for a COVID testing centre.
"We do actually, we do yes."
"I'm going to say, they asked us at the beginning of the COVID back in February if they could lease because they wanted to set up a testing station in South Auckland.
"We talked about it and we decided if the Government is really pushing for people to get tested - we aren't opposed to people being tested."
When asked if she is only for something COVID-19 related when she makes money from it, Tamaki said they "don't need to talk about that".
So they're not opposed to people being tested for covid as long as they can make money from it. And also found this - I had no idea that she'd been asked to be on Dancing with the stars!
The spinoff took a very dim view of it - & I tend to agree, well done them.

Update, 25 February, 4.30pm: Mediaworks has announced that Hannah Tamaki has been dropped from the new season of Dancing with the Stars
ÔÇ£Our announcement for this yearÔÇÖs Dancing with the Stars cast is scheduled for the end of March,ÔÇØ a spokesperson said, ÔÇ£however we are taking the unusual step to confirm Hannah Tamaki will not be part of that lineup. It was originally planned for Hannah to take part in the show. We now recognise this was a mistake and we apologise."
"In an exceptionally sad display of desperation, MediaWorks appears to have booked Hannah Tamaki, known for her bigotry and megachurch, for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. It is my sincere hope that itÔÇÖs all BS and nobody at MediaWorks was so colossally hideous to book someone openly xenophobic, anti-Muslim, homophobic and transphobic.
Here are some reasons why this is an absolutely morally bankrupt decision.
MediaWorks will be providing free publicity for a political party that spreads hate speech
Wow! They wonÔÇÖt have to spend a cent of the hoarded wealth theyÔÇÖve gathered from scamming vulnerable communities to spread their message of *checks notes* banning ÔÇ£new mosques, temples, and other foreign buildings of worshipÔÇØ if elected. At a time when the nation was horrified by the mosque shooting in Christchurch, Brian Tamaki objected to the call to prayer. As the world applauded New ZealandÔÇÖs response to the shooting, Destiny goons stood outside mosques intimidating Muslims.
The Man Up programme, a domestic violence programme by the Tamakis, has been well-covered in other media
Stuff revealed a man broke his partnerÔÇÖs jaw the same day he graduated from the programme. The survivor ÔÇ£immediately launched separation proceedings, but he later used the Man Up certificate in court as evidence of his good characterÔÇØ. Stuff also revealed a Man Up facilitator was stood down for directly messaging a domestic violence survivor and telling her it was her fault if she provoked her partner. So would it be OK if Hannah picks a charity like Man Up? A charity WomenÔÇÖs Refuge chief Ang Jury has publicly stated is dangerous?
My first interaction with Destiny Church was in Tauranga leading up to the civil union bill. I challenged their protest with a sign that said ÔÇ£Love isnÔÇÖt a family valueÔÇØ and in return their parishioners encouraged their children to scream ÔÇ£dykeÔÇØ at me and then laughed when their kids picked up dog shit and threw it at us.
Despite all of this, Hannah Tamaki and her husband, who called people upset by Israel FolauÔÇÖs homophobic comments ÔÇ£Cry Baby GaysÔÇØ, say they have gay friends. Which is as grim as it sounds. A month later they issued an ÔÇ£apologyÔÇØ to the rainbow community along the lines of sorry you were offended.
Their business ÔÇô Destiny Church ÔÇô is a joint business. She is present whenever he spews his hate, and sheÔÇÖs often his mouthpiece. TheyÔÇÖre interchangeable and attempts to paint them any other way are incredibly disingenuous."
