The Opportunities Party wants to clean up politics by making lobbying open to the public, limiting how much money individuals can donate to political parties, banning donations from companies and trusts, and creating a new independent body to investigate corruption. They also want political parties to be banned from running misleading election ads, and want stronger rules around public information and whistleblower protection.
“Opportunity will shift lobbying into the daylight, get big money out of politics, and build an integrity system New Zealanders can trust.”
“Ban donations from companies and trusts, so only registered New Zealand voters can donate.”
“Citizens' Assemblies bring together a random, representative group of New Zealanders—who are compensated for their time—to consider all the angles of a big, thorny issue that politicians aren't solving”

TOP would create citizens’ assemblies — randomly selected groups of New Zealanders, the same number as there are MPs, working for up to a year on one long-term problem — overseen by a new Parliamentary Commissioner for Citizens’ Voice. Parliament would have to formally debate and respond to each set of recommendations, and the Commissioner would report publicly on what happened next.
