Specs & cats fan. Swears a lot. Typos - nearly always. Puns likely. In Ōtautahi/Christchurch, AoNZ. Turns out I'm neuro-spicy. Woke as. Views my own, not representative of my employer. She/her. TERFS, racists, ableists, & misogynists can fuck right off!

Opportunity candidate's statement is quite revealing #nzpol
Opportunity’s Dr Kayla Kingdon-Bebb was asked by someone in the audience why the party didn’t consider itself a “left” party, when the audience member considered that is where its policies lay.

She said the origins of the party’s Citizen’s Income, a universal basic income, came from neoliberal economic theory - “so it’s actually a right-wing theory”.

“I would also note there is a heap of policy on our website that are things we could work with National, Act or possibly NZ First on,” she said, highlighting KiwiSaver and oceans and fisheries.
