What on earth?
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announces new National Party KiwiSaver policy
National pledges to further increase the default KiwiSaver contribution rate, if re-elected at the next election.
The announcement is the first firm National policy before the election, which is still about a year away.
Wait, wait, wait – let me get this straight.
National cut $500 from your KiwiSaver contribution and then when Unemployment is at a 9 year high with more kiwis than ever before taking money out of KiwiSaver for hardship, National are going to compel you to put more money into your KiwiSaver???
This isn’t Tone Dead, it’s Tone Helen Keller!
Money on the table that this is a softening up for a raise in Super to screw over Gen Xers.
So forcing higher KiwiSaver contributions in the face of a cost of living crisis, selling assets and raising Super is what National think will win them the next election?
National are living in la-la land.
