#KiwisDeserveBetter
A Citizen's Income. A Citizen's Income backs every Kiwi so they can afford the basics to live well and contribute. Most adults will receive a regular payment roughly in line with the current Jobseeker benefit. No paperwork, no bureaucrats – just a financially secure base to build a life on. The Citizen's income replaces most benefit classes — including superannuation — and includes top-up functions to ensure no-one is left behind financially. It is paired with a significant simplification of the income tax structure and eliminates the 'welfare trap' where people on a benefit pay an effective marginal tax rate of up to 90% for taking on work. For low-income working New Zealanders, it will be one of the most significant tax breaks in New Zealand history. The Citizen's Income is paid for by introducing a Land Value Tax. A Land Value Tax. A land value tax (LVT) makes housing affordable by shifting the tax load off working people and onto land. The tax applies to land only (not any buildings on that land) and for 'land rich, cash poor' Kiwis like farmers and retirees, exceptions and deferrals will apply. An LVT encourages high-density housing and discourages urban sprawl, land-banking or large rental property portfolios, which helps force down house and rent prices. It also retools our economy for innovation and production, instead of rent-seeking and paper profits. This will help drive real economic growth, by redirecting investment away from housing and towards business. Compulsory, high-contributions Kiwisaver. Kiwis have really gotten behind Kiwisaver, but most of us need to save more to guarantee a comfortable retirement. Opportunity will make Kiwisaver a fully compulsory scheme, with substantially higher employer and employee contributions, so we can all grow old with dignity. When well designed, stronger Kiwisaver balances can also be a powerful investment tool for infrastructure and innovation.

Summer is just about here, but your Party is still hard at work bringing some hopeful news (for a change) to towns large and small across the motu. Some key themes are emerging that we can all relate to. Tap the image to read more.

#KiwisDeserveBetter
What a week it’s been on the road for Opportunity. Over the past few days I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many passionate, thoughtful people in Wellington and Palmerston North. New Zealanders who genuinely care about building a fairer, more hopeful future and who are hungry for real solutions, not slogans. Across both cities, a few themes came through loud and clear: People are looking for hope. They want a politics that backs their potential, their families, their communities, not one that divides or dismisses. Fairness matters deeply. Whether it’s young parents balancing the cost of living, small business owners trying to grow, or older New Zealanders worried about the world their mokopuna will inherit, fairness is in our DNA. A desire for long-term thinking. People are frustrated by short-termism. They want climate action that’s practical, housing solutions that are honest, and a tax system that’s built for the 21st century. These conversations are shaping our campaign, and ultimately our movement. Thank you to everyone who showed up, asked hard questions, and shared your experiences. One of the strongest themes from my visits this week was innovation - not just in technology, but in how we care for people, restore nature, and shape our future. I also met with a range of start-up communities this week: at CreativeHQ, ManawaTech, and The Factory, I met founders and innovators who are pouring their energy into solving problems and making things better. They’re the engine room working on boosting our country’s productivity in food systems, clean energy, fintech and more. New Zealand is full of people who believe we can do better and are rolling up their sleeves to prove it. That spirit of innovation, creativity, and care is exactly what Opportunity is here to champion and scale across the whole country. Let’s keep building this movement Ngā mihi nui, Qiulae Wong - Opportunity Party Leader
