RNZ is tracking the money flowing to the parties this election year and where it is coming from.

Here's where things stand.

Graph showing donations (over $20 declaration threshold) for 2026 so far - Act $1.5M, National $800k, NZ First $500k, Labour $400k, Opportunity $300k, Greens $160k, Te Pāti Māori $40k

I see ACT is doing well. They need a ton of money because they have hardly any volunteers and their policies are hard to sell.

There tends to be a ton of fundraising activity closer to the election. The people-supported parties will bring in more, then.

This kind of goes along with Gary's ideas that wealthy people support far right groups to protect their assets. I always give $10 or $20 to the ones I support. It's mostly so they can say they got donations from X number of people.

I just finished his book, btw. Thanks for the recommendation.
