Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Could TOP Decide the Election? Qiulae Wong on Tax, Winston and Her Bottom Lines
Q: What sort of powers do you want to give the Commerce Commission?
Wong says the commission should be able to enforce recommendations, compel corporate behaviour, and investigate competition problems, with structural separation available as a last resort.
Could TOP Decide the Election? Qiulae Wong on Tax, Winston and Her Bottom Lines
Q: If you want to change the government, should you vote Opportunity Party?
Wong says voters should support TOP if they want action on competition, lobbying, health, and the environment, and says the party would pursue those priorities with either Labour or National.
Opportunity Party Kingmaker? Qiulae Wong on TOP Bottom Lines & Coalition Deals
Q: Do you think Christopher Luxon will change his mind?
Wong says she expects Luxon would prefer to be in government and argues TOP's five bottom lines are reasonable commitments for a centre-right government.
Opportunity Party Kingmaker? Qiulae Wong on TOP Bottom Lines & Coalition Deals
Q: How much policy could you genuinely expect to achieve as part of a coalition at 6%?
Wong says TOP could achieve meaningful priorities in a three-year term and use its leverage to build common ground, including on a more resilient and abundant energy system.
TOP’s Hung Parliament & National Drug Testing Policy
Q: Who would be allowed to defer the tax?
Wong says retirees and farmers could defer payment until the property is sold or inherited, without interest. She says no other groups have been specified for deferral.
