The Albanese government wants to reduce the tax breaks for those with more than $3m in superannuation. And while sections of the media are highly critical of the changes, others say the proposal does little to address intergenerational inequality in the tax system. Columnist Greg Jericho speaks to Reged Ahmad about why the media debate over a smaller tax break for Australia's wealthiest 0.5% is divorced from reality You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

It's one of the curious things about the structure of modern liberal democracies. Whether its sharemarkets or political cycles or even media coverage, a lot of the big forces that shape our society are influenced by short-term incentives. It gets us into all sorts of pickles. Take the Three Waters and the crisis with water infrastructure in New Zealand. The main reason we find ourselves with a vast infrastructure deficit is because for decades, heaps of local councils haven't properly invested to maintain the pipes. Why didn't they invest? Simple. Investment takes money and money means rates. And with woeful levels of engagement with local body elections, big rates increases and pledges to spend millions on water infrastructure that no one could see or appreciate weren't exactly vote-winners. Councillors who wanted to be re-elected have been incentivised to defer spending for the future. Someone else's problem. Predictably, of course, it snowballed. I think we risk the same thing with the aging population and the future of superannuation in New Zealand. We know that in a few short years, as more baby-boomers retire, the cost for superannuation combined with the impact of an older population on the health system is going to massively increase pressure on the Government books. Treasury has been warning about it for ages. There are going to be fewer of us of working age supporting more of us who are retired. And yet since the advent of KiwiSaver, there have been very few big steps to address the fast-approaching meteorite. I'm pleased to see the Government move on Kiwisaver contributions in the Budget this week. It's well overdue in my opinion, and although it'll be a burden for a lot of businesses in the short term, I'd personally support steps that encouraged a greater rate of retirement saving in the future. It occurs to me that a massively underrated component in the Australia vs New Zealand equation is superannuation. Saving for super is compulsory in Australia. But not only are wages higher across the ditch, in six weeks, the compulsory employer rate goes to 12%. I'm not suggesting we instantly introduce a 12% rate here – businesses would be driven into the ground. But it's interesting to note that in Australia, for most workers, the tax on employer contributions is much lower than that in New Zealand. In the next few decades, Australians are set to retire with hundreds of thousands of dollars more than their New Zealand counterparts. I turn 65 in 27 years. I have no expectation that superannuation in its current form will exist by the time I get there. I have a sense of fatalism about the whole thing. It feels inevitable that I'll be paying for older generations to enjoy universal super, only for the settings to finally change once I'm on the home straight to 65. I do find one thing about the Government's move this week particularly curious. They've opened the door to means-testing KiwiSaver. Those who earn more than $180,000 won't receive the Government contribution. I don't claim to know what the best solution is. But there will be many working New Zealanders wondering, this week... if means-testing KiwiSaver benefits is acceptable, why shouldn't superannuation be means-tested too?

Quite a well-known chief executive and finance guy told me once that, in business, you should always make use of other people's money first. Which is exactly what the Government is doing with the KiwiSaver changes announced in yesterday's budget. It wants more of our money going in from our wages and salaries and less of its money going in through government contributions. Although, that's our money too when it comes down to it. But the gist is, the minimum contributions are going to increase from 3 percent to 4 percent and the bit the Government chips in each year is halving - from a maximum of $520 to a maximum of $260. The change in what we pay-in to our KiwiSaver is going to be somewhat gradual. From April 1 next year, the rate will shift to 3.5 percent, before increasing again in April 2028 to 4 per cent. But if you're earning more than $180,000 a year, there'll be some changes coming sooner. You'll have no government money at all going into your KiwiSaver from July this year. Which I think is great. Because why should someone earning that amount of money get a government hand-out? They shouldn't. Especially, when you consider that the finance minister made no noises yesterday about any longer term changes - such as the ones I always have and always will push for: means testing the state pension and increasing the age you can get it. But with no talk about either of those, I think the Government should have gone harder and faster with the contribution changes. I'm not the only one who thinks this. Rupert Carlyon runs a KiwiSaver provider and he says 4 percent plus 4 percent is better than the 3 percent plus 3 percent that we have now - but nothing like the 6 percent plus 6 percent they have in Australia. And he says it's nowhere near the 15 percent average contribution rates in other OECD countries. He says: “We have a long way to go, but it's better than nowhere." Another provider, Dean Anderson, says the finance minister should have stood up yesterday and delivered an outline of how New Zealand is going to follow Australia's lead and increase contributions more than it did yesterday. And he will get no argument from me. Because we need to be way closer to the way they do things in Australia with their retirement savings scheme if there's any hope of keeping state pension entitlement anything close to 65. Which I think is way too low. The retirement age should be, at least, 67. We also need to be way closer to the way they do things in Australia if we're going to hold on to this pipedream of keeping the pension a universal benefit that everyone - whether they need it or not. Yes, I know the consequences of contributing more to KiwiSaver. It means less money in the pocket in the here and now. Which is why some people are warning us today that the changes aren't great news for everyone. Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson says low-income earners, Maori, women and self-employed will be hit the hardest by the lower government contributions. She says: "It's a shame there are so few government incentives for a scheme that underpins private saving for retirement.” The Retirement Commissioner would have liked to have seen the Government use the money it's going to save from reduced contributions to help these people out. But, irrespective of how we are affected by having to pay more into our KiwiSaver and getting less contributions from the government, we need to remind ourselves what saving is all about. It's about denying ourselves in the here and now, to benefit in the future. And yes, we will all be affected by these changes announced yesterday to varying degrees. But, what it comes down to for me, is that these changes are about denying ourselves a little bit more than we do at the moment, so that we can have a little bit more in the future. And what's so bad about that?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Labour's defending its claim the Government's Kiwisaver changes steal 66-thousand dollars from a young person's retirement savings. The Government's halving its yearly contributions, and bringing in a cap at incomes of 180-thousand. Default employer and employee contributions will also rise to four percent. The party's finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds told Ryan Bridge halving the Government's contribution will have a big impact. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Providing I make it to 65, and you don't count your blessings, but assuming for a second that I do, I don't expect I'll be receiving the full pension. And you know what? I'd rather receive less, at a later age, than pay more taxes through my working life. In 2006, the number of Kiwis aged 65+ was 495,000. It's increasing by about 80 people a day and is likely to reach 1 million by 2028. By 2050? 1.5 million. Compared to the OECD, we have the highest basic pension paid from general taxes. With fewer young people working to support it, Treasury has long forecast a cost blowout and the need for much higher taxes to afford this system. Personally, I'd like to take a pass on that. With about another 30 years on the clock before reaching this magical age, how much extra tax must I pay? Which colour government will be in charge when the inevitable happens? Why can't I instead invest my own money, and with the help of compounding returns, hopefully set myself up for my own retirement? Whatever measly amount I might get, I don't expect to get at 65. The UK, Australia, Denmark, US, Germany France and the Netherlands have all increased the age threshold. We will of course do the same at some point. Like most Kiwis, I hope, and again, you don't count your blessings, will have invested wisely and saved adequately to feed and house myself. If that changes, then a means tested system should always be a safety net. But at some point, it'll have to move from Think Big, to think Smaller. NZ Super will have to go on a diet. Crash dieting is never a sustainable way to trim the fat. Smaller, incremental changes over a long period of time afford best results. The same is true of NZ Super. And if the choice is higher taxes for 20 or 30 years instead of me investing that money myself. I'd back myself over the State any day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand will pass an economic milestone in 2028, with the Government making it's first ever Super Fund withdrawal. The Finance Minister revealed yesterday they'll begin offset superannuation costs by withdrawing $32 million from the New Zealand Super Fund. From 2031, withdrawals are expected annually. Superannuation expert Jonathan Eriksen told Ryan Bridge it's exactly what the Superfund was set up to do. He says it's up to $80 billion currently and is generating returns of 10% per annum, with 1% of that being $80 million. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was very clever of the Government announcing that it was going to pump $12 billion into defence before saying anything about where the money's coming from. A lot of us got all excited about the defence money because, even if you're a pacifist, you would have to agree that our defence force has been running on the smell of an oily rag for a very long time. That's just a fact. And we kind of accepted that there would have to be trade-offs. We just didn't know, and we still don't know, what those trade-offs are going to be. Today though it's being proposed that NZ Super should be the Peter that pays Paul, and that we need to sort out the elephant in the room and make people wait longer before they get the pension. And I agree. It's come from economist Cameron Bagrie who has been trying to find out where the defence spend money is coming from. Without any detail forthcoming from the Government, he's suggesting the Super scheme. He's saying: “We cannot continue to shy away from that rising expense if other priorities, such as defence, are going to be met.” He's not the only one talking about the pension scheme needing a reworking. The NZ Herald's head of business Fran O'Sullivan says it was a National Government that increased the entitlement age for NZ Super from 60 to 65. But that the current National Party leadership is sticking with the idea of not doing anything about the eligibility age until 2044. The party's current commitment is to keep the age at 65 for another 19 years. Fran O'Sullivan describes that as “nonsense”. And I agree with her too. There is no way we can afford to keep paying the pension to anyone and everyone once they turn 65 for another 19 years. National's policy at the moment commits it to increasing the age of entitlement to 67 after 2044, which means no one born before 1979 will be affected. So someone who is 47 now, for example, would still get the pension when they turn 65. Crazy. There's also nothing in National's policy about doing something about the other nonsensical part of all this – where people still get the pension if they keep working beyond 65. Because the pension —when it comes down to it— is to help stop people falling into poverty after they retire. That's what it's designed for. It's not there to pay for some joker's beer on a Friday and Saturday night, who doesn't need it for anything else because he's still working and earning a salary or wages. Or he might be someone who's made a truckload of money running a business and still earns a dividend or maybe even still draws a salary. Back to Cameron Bagrie. He's saying today that health and NZ Super make up 37% of government operational expenses and that things are only going to get tighter with more defence spending. He says: “We now have a new pressure in the mix: national security - which is being prioritised. No credible political party can ignore that.” Referring to the pension, he says: “We cannot continue to shy away from that rising expense if other priorities, such as defence, are going to be met.” It's not something former National Prime Minister Jim Bolger shied away from. Somehow, he managed to convince New Zealanders that increasing the qualifying age for was “plain common sense”, because people were living longer and receiving the pension for a lot longer. Age eligibility went up to 61 within a year of that and it's been 65 since 2001. And just like it was looking less affordable then, it's looking even less affordable now. That's why we need to have the same fortitude - or our politicians do - and they need to bite the bullet, instead of ignoring it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft chat about emissions, credential stuffing attacks targeting Australian super funds, a ransomware attack on a luxury Sydney hotel, and more Donald Trump chaos. Hollingworth and Croft kick things off with some interesting research that estimates the carbon costs of various AI platforms, with Grok AI coming out on top as the least environmentally punishing chatbot, while ChatGPT generates more than four grams of carbon per prompt. The pair then move on to an alarming week of cyber incidents impacting Australian organisations, from the superannuation hacks that saw both data and retirement funds compromised, Western Sydney University admitting that the data of 10,000 students had been accessed by a hacker, and The Fullerton Hotel Sydney confirming it had been the victim of a ransomware attack last month. Hollingworth and Croft wrap things with a discussion of the impact of AI-based threats that could impact the Australian election, lessons learned from last year's US election from SentinelOne's Chris Krebs, and the news that Krebs earned the ire of the US President and having his security clearance removed.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
In this show Ken Raiss, Brett Warren and I and a heap of questions left by viewers of a recent Masterclass that should be of interest to anyone interested in property investment. We explore the pros and cons of investing in outer suburbs, what's ahead for the Melbourne property market, the significance of understanding property value versus price, the different loan structures available for investors, the importance of economic fundamentals, and strategies for intergenerational wealth transfer. The conversation also touches on the viability of living off equity and the comparison between commercial and residential properties. Takeaways Investing in outer suburbs can be risky especially at this stage of the cycle where property vans have been pushed up by inexperienced investors. Economic fundamentals drive property value growth. Setting up the right ownership property structure is essential for flexible intergenerational wealth transfer. Starting with a clear end goal is one key to successful investing. Interest-only loans can help in property accumulation phases, while we're paying debt makes sense as you near a retirement age. Living off equity is challenging but still possible with the right strategy. Commercial properties often provide better yields than residential property, but for most investors residential property provides better returns because of the extra leverage. Flexibility in investment ownership structures can enhance financial outcomes. The property market is cyclical; patience is necessary for long-term gains.
