Qiulae Wong

The Opportunities Party (TOP)

Party leader (The Opportunities Party) · Nationwide, New Zealand · 2026

PurposeQiulae Wong, an Auckland businesswoman who became The Opportunities Party's fifth leader in November 2025, is leading the extra-parliamentary party into New Zealand's November 7, 2026 general election on a platform she describes as "workable, costed reforms" from neither the left nor the right.

Economy
TOP's central policy is a land value tax — 1.75% a year on residential land and 0.5% on rural land — which the party says would raise about $24 billion a year to fund a means-tested "citizen's income" replacing the existing welfare system, including superannuation. The party would also forgive student loan interest for graduates who emigrate and strengthen the powers of the Commerce Commission.

Governance
TOP proposes "citizens' assemblies" to deliberate on major national issues, caps on political donations, and a new anti-corruption body.

Infrastructure
The party would ban bottom-trawling in New Zealand waters and increase investment in renewable energy.
