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.

The Northcote suburb of Auckland had questions about how Opportunity will stop the 3 yearly to and fro of partisan posturing and tackle the high cost of housing.

Qiulae has been hard at work in public forums around the motu. Last week Q was in Whangārei to share her vision and hear from locals about what matters most to them. Heaps of great questions and stories from people who feel that we need something different in politics.

A generation of Kiwis have been locked out of home ownership, but Labor will only tinker at the margins of this broken system with their poorly designed Capital Gains tax.
Now is the time for a Land Value Tax.

Labor's Capital gains tax is weak and will not lower housing costs nor stem the tide of land speculation. They have opted for a policy that exempts primary residences and farms rather than make the case for what is actually needed: real tax reform to give hope to the younger generation.

The Government is coming under fire from concerned global climate scientists, who say its new methane emissions target ignores scientific evidence to permit the continued release of high levels of the climate-heating gas. The coalition is willing to sacrifice Aotearoa’s brand for a few more votes

This Government's climate strategy is weak as...
We owe it to everyone, including farmers and businesses, to take a unified, long-term approach to methane emissions pricing and reduction
TOP will restore the cross-party consensus on the climate to meet our obligations under the Paris Agreement

Squeezing profit out of an underfunded healthcare system is like shoving the ambulance over the cliff. This neoliberal economic model has resulted in higher costs and worse health outcomes everywhere it has been tried. Listen to the experts debate it here:

We will use our influence in Parliament to revise the Misuse of Drugs Act. Instead of punitive measures, we can save lives and reduce harm with a healthcare driven system that treats addiction as a medical issue not a crime.

The Government's means testing for jobseeker benefits is is typical of their myopic, populist approach to governance. It will not build skills, create jobs or prepare youth for the impact of AI.
TOP believes Aotearoa needs a comprehensive overhaul of taxes and income support to give youth a chance.

Luxon can't do maths apparently, telling school leavers to “get off the couch, stop playing PlayStation and go find a job”. Yet his own government has eliminated 9502 public service jobs* and tanked the economy causing the rise in unemployment to 5.2% and fall in our GDP.

TOP backs a Land Value Tax
because-
1. it lowers incentives for speculation and encourages landowners to put property into productive use
2. taxing it's value is cheaper and easier as it can't be hidden or easily avoided
3. it discourages urban sprawl which supports the environment
