Meet Qiulae Wong, the leader of TOP 2.0 Qiulae (pronounced queue-lay, just 'Q' to her friends) has spent her career fighting for better ways to do business. As a mum of two, business founder and climate leader, Q knows what it takes to build policy that puts people first.

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.

Another "Basic Income" experiment that was deemed a success and will be made permanent.
TOP will bring a Universal Basic Income to Aotearoa, working in tandem with a land value tax switch to lower housing costs and welfare system reform.

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:

These are the very issues that TOP is best suited to address.
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

Luxon’s worried about how fast votes are counted. Kiwis are worried about how fast the economy is crashing.
TOP’s focus is on fixing our two-speed economy with bold tax reform, income security, and housing you can actually afford.

Without major reform, our public services will falter under the pressure of an aging population. We need more than spin and can-kicking from our leaders. TOP has solutions for the next 40 years, not just the next election. Tax reform, funded health-care, infrastructure investment, climate action

"GDP fell 1.1% since last June and is 2.8% smaller than June 2023.
The economy - effectively our standard of living - is flat lining.
The National-led Government’s reaction to this news tells us everything we need to know about its lack of an economic plan and how it’s failing to sell it."-The Post

Politics is broken because the hard decisions keep getting kicked down the road.
Future generations deserve a democracy with the courage to do the right thing.
TOP's plan for Citizens' Assemblies, lobbying reform, and commitment to cross-party consensus on the big issues is where that starts.
