New Zealand politics:

 

KiwiSaver is in the news, again.

 

Opposition parties that didn't set-up KiwiSaver in the first place like to meddle with it ! eg, the Annual [Govt] top-up REDUCTION.

 

So, given that meddling, KiwiSaver should be a CHOICE and not Compulsory for Employee and Employer.

 

If the NZ Govt is in a Surplus then they could top-up balances for all accounts, but [the Govt] to BORROW to 'do the KiwiSaver is not fiscally responsible !

 

Let's look at a REAL problem. Members of Parliament pay and perks and aftermarket pay and perks - that's a real problem!
