Now, new leader Qiulae Wong says it's time for a different kind of kingmaker.
As Opportunity Party surges in the polls, Guyon talks to leader, Qiulae Wong, about her Party's plans for NZ: From a radical tax overhaul to a reset of Superannuation and Social Welfare.
In this episode of 30 with Guyon Espiner, Wong discusses power, influence, lobbying and political transparency, and explains their vision for a citizens' income, compulsory KiwiSaver, free public transport and a new approach to long-term policy.
