The ‘worm’ worked for Dunne, but that ‘sudden’ surge not the Opportunity way, Wong says

Former United Future leader Peter Dunne has commented on the performance of the Opportunity party, noting that while the 'worm'—a real-time audience response tool—showed positive results for the party, he remains skeptical of its recent polling surge. Dunne characterized the sudden increase in support as inconsistent with the party's typical trajectory.

Despite the data from the worm, Dunne stated that it is currently too early to determine whether the Opportunity party will successfully secure a seat or influence in the upcoming election. His remarks highlight a cautious perspective on the party's momentum and the reliability of short-term polling shifts.
