He contrasts this with National’s KiwiSaver reforms designed to boost savings for all. While Greens tout $32 billion in new revenue and tax cuts for 96% of earners, Finance Minister Nicola Willis accuses Labour of $18 billion in unfunded policies. Luxon questions whether such taxes would attract young entrepreneurs, even as he highlights positive signs: 0.8% Q1 growth and a record $2 billion trade surplus. National’s KiwiSaver proposals include automatic baby enrollments, mandatory contributions by 2032, and enhanced support for older workers and parents.
