The Opportunities Party has been officially registered as a political party and is on the hunt for candidates.

Leader Gareth Morgan originally said it would be a list-only party, but it subsequently changed its mind and fielded a candidate in last month's Mt Albert by-election.
When Mr Morgan founded the party three months ago, he said it would not join a coalition but could happily work with either Labour or National.
The Opportunities Party says it will push for three and four-year-olds to get free fulltime early childhood care, if it is elected.
Power Play - Gareth Morgan might insist The Opportunities Party policies span the political spectrum, but it's Labour and the Greens who seem nervous.
Opinion - He's an outspoken businessman with a populist touch starting a political party but don't call him New Zealand's Donald Trump, writes Bernard Hickey.
