Gareth Morgan, founder of New Zealand’s Opportunity Party in 2017, has publicly criticized the current iteration of Opportunity's tax proposals. Morgan argues the plan is regressive, placing a disproportionate burden on lower-income earners. He believes this policy now aligns with those of Labour and the Greens in its detrimental impact. Morgan suggests the policy will exacerbate economic inequality rather than alleviate it. This criticism comes from the party's original founder expressing concerns about the direction the party has taken. Morgan’s comments underscore ongoing debate about fair taxation in New Zealand politics. This move signals internal disagreement regarding Opportunity's economic strategy in New Zealand.
