facts. this is just another tax on the working class disguised as 'helping' us

nah most kiwis are hopeless with money. they need the help whether they like it or not

honestly if they make it compulsory they better jack up the minimum wage. cant squeeze blood from a stone

so many people opt out now cos they need the cash. forced savings is just gonna mean more debt for the poor
