Could TOP Decide the Election? Qiulae Wong on Tax, Winston and Her Bottom Lines
Duncan Garner - Editor In ChiefShow Notes
Would Qiulae Wong put National or Labour into power? And what would she demand in return?
The Opportunity Party leader joins Duncan Garner to explain her five bottom lines, why tax reform isn’t a condition of a deal, and where she stands on Winston Peters. Duncan presses her on the cost of living, supermarket competition, power bills and how much a minor party could actually deliver.
Then Ani O’Brien and former National minister Maurice Williamson give their verdict on Wong’s answers and debate strategic voting, a possible hung Parliament and whether National has left its toughest decisions too late.
Could the smallest shift in votes decide who gets the keys to the Beehive?
