## Resource

Qiulae Wong, the 39-year-old founder of the Opportunity Party, is banking on historic momentum as her party surges to 3.3% polling and membership records — aiming to break MMP’s glass ceiling by entering Parliament without any sitting MPs. Returning to NZ in 2022 after a decade abroad, Wong brings real-world policy insight from her consulting days at B-Lab and KPMG, convinced that reform from within politics is the only way forward. She’s tackling the “wasted vote” fear head-on, arguing voters love her platform but hesitate due to unfamiliarity — a challenge she believes will fade as public frustration with political whiplash grows. Wong’s party, rooted in evidence not ideology, rejects left-right labels and prioritizes unity, innovation, and nature — while fiercely defending the Zero Carbon Act in coalition talks.
