Labour leader Chris Hipkins and the Opportunity Party leader Qiulae Wong. Photo / Mark Mitchell This election campaign, Te Pāti Māori and the Opportunity Party both claim to have “bottom lines”, conditions the parties say are non-negotiable for their support in forming a government. Te Pāti Māori is demanding radical constitutional change as its price for supporting a Labour-led government, including making Waitangi Tribunal recommendations binding on the Crown, an independent Te Tiriti Commissi
