Face of the Day

National has ruled out working with the Opportunity Party, with leader Christopher Luxon saying National would not do business with a party that wants to raise taxes.

Opportunity’s leader says New Zealanders are tired of that way of thinking, and suspected Luxon would change his tune if National needed Opportunity come November.

Opportunity was on 4.7 per cent in the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll, just shy of the five per cent needed to enter parliament.

The party has been open to working with both National and Labour, should either need its support to form a government after the election.
