What does Opportunity Party do?

The Opportunity Party, founded in 2016 by Gareth Morgan, is a centrist political party in New Zealand. It rebranded from The Opportunities Party to its current name in late 2025 under the leadership of Qiulae "Q" Wong. The party focuses on evidence-based policies and aims to bridge the political divide by addressing long-term national challenges such as infrastructure, energy affordability, and climate action. The Opportunity Party develops detailed policy frameworks and advocates for reforms in areas like taxation, housing, and crime. Key proposals include a universal basic income, a land value tax, and commitments to clean energy and affordable housing. The party also emphasizes citizen engagement through assemblies and volunteer coordination, aiming to enhance political participation and transparency. Its target audience includes the general public, particularly young people and those seeking long-term solutions to social and economic issues.
