Summary
The Advertising Standards Authority has ordered the National Party to pull a misleading attack ad claiming Labour’s capital gains tax would hit KiwiSaver, family baches, rentals, and small businesses. While Labour insists KiwiSaver is exempt, the ASA ruled that linking it to other assets without clear context could confuse voters — a key moment for political advertising truthfulness. National’s campaign chairman doubled down, calling the ruling flawed and insisting KiwiSaver will still be affected, but the ASA’s directive stands, leaving the debate over the tax’s real impact unresolved.
