We’re stoked to see so many Kiwis getting behind Opportunity and our vision for Aotearoa New Zealand. Seven MPs would give us a real opportunity to bring some much-needed change to Parliament and help break through the political stalemate that everyone is fed up with.

“Let’s bring in the people affected by these policies, give them the evidence, talk honestly about the trade-offs, and ask: how do we find a way forward?” 💬 Eden Skipper - Candidate for Christchurch chatting to Jodie Kuntzsch - Candidate for Nelson

Local commercial fishers should have a greater say in the fisheries they depend on. Opportunity wants to shift away from concentrated quota ownership and reconnect local fishers with the communities they work in. Whether you fish for a living or for fun, we all benefit when our fisheries thrive.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 25/09/2026

We have enormous renewable energy potential. With a long-term strategy, we can give Kiwi businesses the confidence to invest, bring down pressure on household bills and build the energy system we’ll need for the future. Opportunity can help make that happen.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 24/09/2026

Auckland, come and meet Q. With the election getting closer, Opportunity Leader Qiulae Wong is heading to Mt Albert to share the latest from the Opportunity campaign, answer your questions and meet some of the people following us along the way.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 24/09/2026

Opportunity wants to give the Commerce Commission real teeth, including the ability to break up dominant players where necessary. More competition means better choices, better prices and an economy that actually works for everyday New Zealanders.

030

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 23/09/2026

At Staveley Camp near Mt Somers, years of community-led restoration are helping native forest regenerate and bringing birdlife back. At Fern Factor in Christchurch, thousands of native ferns are propagated from spores, alongside native planting that provides habitat on the Canterbury Plains.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 22/09/2026

Every three years, our health system gets another shake-up. New plans, new priorities, funding moved around, and the problems keep piling up. Opportunity wants to break that cycle with a costed, cross-party 10-year health plan that survives changes of government.

120

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 21/09/2026

What could a new government actually do about it in its first 100 days? Q’s answer is to start with competition. Give the Commerce Commission more independence and the powers it needs to take on concentrated markets like supermarkets, electricity, banking and building supplies.

“Let’s bring in the people affected by these policies, give them the evidence, talk honestly about the trade-offs, and ask: how do we find a way forward?” 💬Eden Skipper - Candidate for Christchurch talking to Jodie Kuntzsch - Candidate for Nelson

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 18/09/2026

Climate policy should leave New Zealand stronger, rather than just give us more costs to address. As a country, we have to deal with climate change, so we may as well use the opportunity to build a more resilient, productive and prosperous New Zealand at the same time.

031

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 17/09/2026

The ever-climbing line in the NZ Herald Motu Research Poll of Polls now has Opportunity at 8%. Thanks to everyone for getting behind our team, our policies and our positive vision for where New Zealand goes next. Plenty of work still to do. But 8% is a great way to kick off a Thursday.

050

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 16/09/2026

Today, National announced it would pursue separating supermarkets if the Commerce Commission finds it would leave shoppers better off. That's good. We’ve spent long enough talking about the lack of competition in our supermarkets while Kiwis keep paying the price.

031

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 15/09/2026

Urgency is meant for issues that are actually urgent. That makes it hard to fathom that almost two-thirds of the bills considered by this Parliament have had at least one stage dealt with using urgency. We can do politics better than this.

040

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 15/09/2026

Opportunity supporters have been out on street corners, putting up signs, handing out flyers, talking to people and generally spreading the good word about Opportunity. It’s fantastic seeing this movement grow through people who believe New Zealand can do better.

010

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 14/09/2026

For the first time, Opportunity has registered in The Post/Freshwater Strategy poll at 6% - and we're pretty proud of that. There's still plenty of work ahead of us and we'll need every vote we can get, but we're going into this election campaign with momentum on our side.

040

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 14/09/2026

“We're talking about shifting from a business-as-usual to a business-as-unusual status quo.” 💬Jodie Kuntzsch - Candidate for Nelson

020

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 14/09/2026

When the politicians are gridlocked - it's time to hear the Citizens’ Voice . Our Citizens' Voice policy would bring together randomly selected groups of New Zealanders in Citizens' Assemblies. We believe that everyday Kiwis are the best people to solve everyday problems, not career politicians.

010

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 13/09/2026

Most of us have had that moment when someone we love has needed the health system. When it does happen, we want to know it’ll be there for them. We need to think beyond the next election and build a health system we can trust will still be there for the generations coming after us.

120

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 12/09/2026

It’s extremely hard to argue with this. Businesses need certainty to invest, hire and grow. They shouldn’t have to wonder whether the rules will be ripped up again after the next election. Let’s pick a sensible direction, commit to it, and give New Zealand the confidence to plan for the future.

020

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 11/09/2026

The cost of living is out of control. So let’s take practical steps to bring prices down. We can do that without spending billions of dollars on nationalising private businesses. Let’s find common ground on solutions that will actually happen and will actually work.

051

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 10/09/2026

Opportunity candidate Jessica Hammond has been through a few election campaigns, but this one feels different. Her kids are older, they’re seeing some of the challenges facing young people up close, and that’s become an even bigger part of why she wants change.

060

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 10/09/2026

The Waitangi Tribunal scrutinises, reports and recommends on ways to honour Te Tiriti today. When an independent institution tells ACT something it doesn’t want to hear, ACT’s answer is to get rid of it. That’s why we will oppose any attempt to silence it.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 09/09/2026

Our education system needs stability. Opportunity wants a 10-year, cross-party education plan built with educators, learners and families, so we can stop changing direction every few years and focus on what actually improves outcomes. Our kids deserve an education system built for their future.

030

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 08/09/2026

Energy security is becoming a pretty big issue for New Zealand, particularly as our gas supply continues to dwindle. Our new $1 billion Industry Energy Resilience Fund helps Kiwi businesses move away from gas without leaving them stuck with all the upfront costs of making that change.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 06/09/2026

A blue economy asks how we can protect and restore our oceans while creating good jobs, building innovative businesses, strengthening coastal communities, and supporting the cultural connections people have with the moana. 🎙️ Jodie Kuntzsch - Candidate for Nelson

You might notice a bit more teal around the country this weekend. From Whangārei to Invercargill, Opportunity election signs are going up thanks to our candidates, volunteers and supporters. It's an exciting time, and marks 2 months until the election!

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 05/09/2026

We've just launched our September Campaign Fundraiser. Our goal is to raise $150k by the end of the month, helping get our message in front of as many Kiwis as possible before election day. If you're keen to support our final push - head to: opportunity.org.nz/september-fundra…

200 hoardings in one day is no small feat! A huge thank you to the volunteers who are picking up hammers and helping build hoardings, and to the Kiwis around the country who’ll be putting them up on fences, front lawns, and roadsides. Keep your eyes peeled for a lot more teal!

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 03/09/2026

Opportunity wants 10-year, cross-party plans for health and education that gives people working in those systems the stability, support and long-term direction they need. Let’s get behind the people doing the mahi and give them the chance to get on with it. www.opportunity.org.nz/healthy_people

020

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 02/09/2026

We need to start planning health and education for the next decade, not the next election. Opportunity wants 10-year, cross-party plans for both, giving us the certainty to train the workforce we need, invest for the long term and improve outcomes for all New Zealanders.

020

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 01/09/2026

Our new Healthy People and Future Fit Education policies both propose 10-year plans, developed with the people working in those systems and supported across Parliament. For Education www.opportunity.org.nz/future_fit_e… For Health www.opportunity.org.nz/healthy_peop…

“We can’t make New Zealand better by writing each other off.” Jill remembers a New Zealand that felt more connected and more equal, and worries we’re losing some of that as politics pushes people further apart. Thanks for the chat, Jill.

Only 70 days remain, and we can already feel the political landscape shifting. There’s a growing appetite for real change in New Zealand, and we’ve got 70 days to turn it into something that lasts. Become part of the movement: www.opportunity.org.nz/get-involved

Rates caps - they might look good on Wayne but are they a good idea? We don't think so. They simply kick our infrastructure cans down the road, meanwhile households save the equivalent of a can of baked beans a month. Instead, we support implementing the full Ratepayer Assistance Scheme.

040

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 26/08/2026

We will not support ACT’s plan to abolish the Climate Change Commission. There’s nothing efficient about removing independent scrutiny just because the advice might be inconvenient. If National needs Opportunity to form a government in November, we’ll be clear about where we stand.

070

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 25/08/2026

Dan headed north to Whangārei to catch up with our local candidate Simon DellaBarca and found beef farming, waterway restoration and solar power generation all happening within 50 metres of each other.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 24/08/2026

Recently, Qiulae hit the streets to hear directly from voters about what matters to them and the kind of country they want New Zealand to become. This is what politics should be about. Getting out, listening and chatting to people about the future we want to build here together.

060

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 24/08/2026

What’s the point of a strong economy if people don’t get to live good lives? We shouldn’t have to choose between a strong economy and a thriving environment. Between building globally successful businesses and having time to jump on the trampoline with your kids.

040

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 23/08/2026

Pāpā Wharewera has spent much of his life serving others through the military, Fire and Emergency, local government, professional rugby and his community in Whakatāne. What drives Pāpā is a belief that politics should bring people together rather than constantly finding new ways to divide us.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 22/08/2026

If we want people to trust politics, we need to give them good reasons to. Our Clean Up Politics plan will regulate lobbying, reform political donations and establish an independent integrity system with some actual teeth. It’s time to clean up politics. www.opportunity.org.nz/clean_up_politics

041

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 21/08/2026

For years, one of the biggest barriers to voting for Opportunity was the fear of a wasted vote. That argument is getting pretty hard to make now. Opportunity has had two polls at 8%, and momentum is building. If you want something different this November, vote for it.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 20/08/2026

Our deputy leader Dan Eb visited a former factory that once made organic condoms from sheep appendices (yes, you read that right) is now being transformed to process locally grown hemp into hempcrete for building homes. This is the kind of innovation we want to see across regional New Zealand.

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 19/08/2026

Number five on our list is Christchurch Central candidate Eden Skipper. We’re proud to have him at number five, and as part of the next generation of leaders we want to send to Parliament. Meet Eden here: www.opportunity.org.nz/candidate-eden-skipper

Opportunity @top.org.nz · 18/08/2026

Big change doesn’t happen if our politics doesn’t change too. That’s why we’ve launched our Clean Up Politics package, with stronger rules around lobbying, political donations, transparency and accountability. Read our full policy here: www.opportunity.org.nz/clean_up_politics

We want the Kiwi dream to be achievable again. A regular income should be enough to buy a home, raise a family and build memories, not something reserved for those who already have wealth behind them. Use our tax calculator here: www.opportunity.org.nz/tax-reset-calculator-2026
