Greg Fleming

Greg Fleming is the local Member of Parliament for Maungakiekie, proudly representing the community he and his family have called home since 1998.

Elected in 2023, Greg serves on the Māori Affairs Committee and as Deputy Chair of the Petitions Committee. Across Maungakiekie — from Royal Oak, Onehunga and One Tree Hill to Greenlane, Ellerslie and Mt Wellington — he is focused on safer streets and neighbourhoods, easing cost-of-living pressures, improving local infrastructure, and providing a platform for local voices and organisations that support families and communities every day.

Greg believes strong communities are built when power is placed closer to the people it affects. He is a firm advocate for government distributing decision-making to the front line — to iwi, whānau, community organisations, businesses, schools, and local providers. Greg has seen firsthand that real progress comes through local solutions, local relationships, and local leadership. That is where people and communities can thrive.

Greg has been a leading voice in the fight against modern slavery. In 2026, in an unprecedented use of Parliament’s members’ bill process, Greg worked alongside MP Camilla Belich to co-sponsor a new Modern Slavery Bill. The Bill would require certain organisations to report on how they identify, address and mitigate modern slavery, including human trafficking, within their operations and supply chains.

With support from both major parties, the Bill bypassed the usual ballot process and was introduced directly to Parliament — the first time a members’ bill has secured sufficient cross-party backing to do so. The legislation reflects Greg’s commitment to protecting vulnerable people and building principled, bipartisan solutions to serious national challenges.

Born in Masterton and educated at Wairarapa College, Greg completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Victoria University of Wellington and qualified as a Chartered Accountant. He began his career in London finance before returning to New Zealand to work in the charitable and public policy sectors. He is also a student of te reo Māori.

Over 25 years, Greg has helped build community institutions, including The Parenting Place, the Aspiring Leaders Forum, Te Whakaora Tangata, the Maxim Institute, the Venn Foundation, and most recently Te Wānanga Ihorangi — initiatives focused on strengthening leadership, families, and civic life in New Zealand.

Greg and his wife Kirstin have raised their five children in Maungakiekie. He enjoys running up Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill and can often be found collecting stray cricket, tennis, and golf balls after his children.

Greg’s commitment is simple: to serve Maungakiekie with integrity and energy, and to help build a safer and stronger country for the next generation.
