[GRTV] Can politicians be bipartisan on KiwiSaver?

Over the years Boyle has been a strong advocate for a review of KiwiSaver. He would like to see the can opened and the worms inside dealt with.

“We need some structure, and some leadership from politicians, from fund managers and the industry as a whole.”

Boyle says the perfect KiwiSaver policy would be apolitical instead of the situation we’re in when every three years in the lead up to an election, politicians try to tweak ‘tidbits’ of the retirement scheme.

On National’s election policy to allow KiwiSaver to be used for tenancy bonds, Boyle says he doesn’t support any policy that changes the fundamental process of what KiwiSaver is designed for. “There needs to be a consistent approach to help New Zealanders get to retirement in a better place.”
