## Resource

National Party’s bold KiwiSaver overhaul aims to force every working Kiwi into saving — starting July 2028 with 6% mandatory contributions from both employers and employees. They’re also auto-enrolling newborns with a $1,500 kickstart, ensuring parents on paid leave still get government help, and making employer contributions mandatory for workers over 65. Leader Christopher Luxon says these moves boost financial resilience in uncertain times — and cost a cool $1 billion over four years.
