Aside from Gloriavale, what other weird/fringe groups do we have in New Zealand? (self.newzealand)

I always read stories about what’s going on in Gloriavale, and I quite enjoy videos of random communities abroad as well. Other than Gloriavale what other fringe communities exist in NZ?

Until the 90s there was Centrepoint in Albany.

Wow. I vaguely recall the name but I was just a little kid when that all broke. I didn’t realise how much shit went down there. That Wikipedia article makes for quite a read.
