The Government has been scrambling this week to pass legislation before Parliament rises for the year, and maybe because there’s a risk of the coalition not being returned at next year’s election….There were some big calls, with a big change to KiwiSaver, a Social Housing plan, and the biggest changes to local Government in many decades as Chris Bishop made his presence felt, riding roughshod over local democracy. This week Susan St John, an expert on pensions and intergenerational equity at the University of Auckland joins me to unpack some of the pros and cons of the Government’s decision to up the KiwiSaver contribution to 6% by 2032.
