The Opportunity Party (TOP) is proposing the most radical tax reset New Zealand has seen in generations.

In this episode, we dig straight into the numbers, looking at how this policy impacts household wealth, the banking sector, and the wider New Zealand economy. We also press Swarbrick on what "affordable housing" actually means in Auckland, where this land tax policy has ever worked internationally, and why mainstream political parties like National have already shut the door on doing a deal with TOP.
