One major theme has emerged for this year’s election... money. Two parties at the weekend launched ideas to get the country’s finances in order and future-proof our economy for generations to come. National held its annual party conference in high spirits, despite a polling support slide since the last election. They announced policy that would make KiwiSaver compulsory, raise minimum contributions, and require employers pay for staff over 65. On the other hand, the Greens are focusing on taxing the rich, imposing a levy on the four big banks, and taxing offshore profits earned by tech giants.

There's one thing I like about the National Party's KiwiSaver announcement. And there's one thing I don't like.Let's start with the good bit. Making it compulsory for everyone to have a KiwiSaver account. It's amazed me how we say in one breath how critical it is for Kiwis to be saving for their retirement and then, in the second breath, tell people they only have to do it if they want. Which is like saying to people, what would you prefer? Getting your hands on every last cent of your pay right now? Or would you prefer to have some of it taken away and locked up in a KiwiSaver account? It's just like those TV shows where they tell kids they can have one lolly now or two lollies in five minutes. Most of them go for instant gratification. And that's how a lot of people are with KiwiSaver. But, if it was compulsory, they wouldn't have a choice.Which is why I'm a big fan of this part of what National announced yesterday. The other bit, though. I'm not keen on. This is where National wants employers to be forced to make KiwiSaver contributions for people working beyond the retirement age. At the moment it's voluntary. National wants that to change that. And says, if re-elected, it will make it compulsory for employers to continue making KiwiSaver contributions for staff who work past the age of 65.I'm not a fan. For several reasons. For starters, the retirement age is 65. And, until that changes, employers shouldn't be forced to pay into people's KiwiSaver if they decide to keep working beyond the retirement age. Another reason I'm not a fan, is that someone over the age of 65 who is still working is not only getting their wages or salary, but they're also getting the NZ Super pension from the government. And, looking at it from the perspective of employers, if National makes it compulsory for everyone to have a KiwiSaver account - as I think it should - that, on its own, will be an extra cost for businesses and organisations.This from a party that claims to be on the side of businesses. I also see it backfiring on the people themselves who don't want to stop working at 65. Because employers will be way less inclined to keep them on if they know they're going to be forced to keep paying into the KiwiSaver accounts of these older workers. Which would be a shame. Because no one can argue that people still have a lot to offer beyond the age of 65.But surely a wage or salary and the NZ Super pension is enough, without forcing employers to throw more money into their KiwiSaver accounts.

The system seemed to work. But recent years have shown how quickly tariffs, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions can affect prices, jobs, KiwiSaver balances and economic security. Dr Chad Bown, former chief economist at the U.S. State Department under President Biden, says trade is no longer just about imports and exports, it's about who gets to shape the future.

Now, I can't imagine Labour's woken up feeling awesome this morning about how that reset is going. What do you think? This is a reset – you do realise that. After months of saying nothing, having no new policy and generating headlines for Ayesha Verrall singing weird songs about ducks, they started this week with a classic reset move. They got themselves a story in the Herald on Monday, claiming Nicola Willis tried to hide secret spending in the Budget. Then they followed it up really quickly with a list announcement, unveiling the policeman candidate. And then tomorrow they were supposed to have their big, substantive policy announcement – something they haven't done in months. It was meant to be this run of good news. Unfortunately for them, it's gone a little bit pear-shaped, hasn't it? The “secret money” has turned out to actually just be an accounting provision. The list announcement got derailed by Greg O'Connor taking a crack at them. Then the new guy for one of the Māori seats revealed there's some tax relief policy coming – which he wasn't supposed to say. Then Chippy got busted for using his government KiwiSaver to buy a bach, and the policeman didn't tell his bosses early enough that he was off to join the Labour Party. All of this is not a good look for Labour, because they can hardly expect to convince voters they're ready to govern if they can't even get 24 hours' worth of announcements to go to plan without being derailed by four or five different issues. But to be fair to Labour, the last 24–48 hours is really not the end of the world. A lot of this is pretty beltway stuff – at least the parts involving the policeman are. In five months' time, when the election rolls around, no one but the biggest political nerds in this country will remember any of it. Five months gives them plenty of time to fix all of this, but they really do have to get on and fix it, because this is the same problem, just repeated – the same problem as the Ayesha Verrall duck-song situation. It looks like a party unable to get its act together and just do one thing properly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has defended using a generous publicly funded private superannuation scheme to pay off the mortgage of his family holiday home. Hipkins confirmed he pays the maximum contribution, but he also contributes to KiwiSaver, meaning the full amount of contribution will not be paid towards the super scheme that owns his home. MPs are allowed to direct these savings into private superannuation funds, which Hipkins has done. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper explained further.

We head to New Zealand to talk with Bronwyn Candish, a chartered accountant, community builder, and one of the clearest Kiwi voices in financial independence movement. She talks to us about starting over after divorce, rebuilding from the middle, and discovering that "doing money right" has a lot less to do with credentials than with courage, alignment, and actually taking action. This episode covers: Growing up with scarcity in New Zealand and how that shaped Bronwyn's money mindset Why being an accountant did not automatically make her good with money Lifestyle creep, overbuying on housing, and drifting into paycheck-to-paycheck living Divorce as a financial wake-up call in her late 30s How Bronwyn found FIRE through a random article and went deep down the rabbit hole The role of KiwiSaver, housing, and DIY culture in the New Zealand version of FI  Why community and accountability matter so much on the journey How Bronwyn turned her accounting practice into a FIRE-adjacent coaching space The creation of Black Friday and the growth of the Kiwi FIRE community  What it looks like to be "mid-journey" and still deeply love the path . === SUPPORT  THE  SHOW ===
