What happened
Andrew Urquhart and Tash McGill discussed the fiscal strain caused by an aging population on general tax revenue. They covered retirement policy, including proposals to raise KiwiSaver contributions to 6% by 2032, which is supported by National, Labour, and NZ First. The discussion also included differing views on raising the pension age to 67 versus maintaining it at 65.

Why it matters
The fiscal strain from an aging population is driving debates over mandatory savings and government expenditure. Proposals to increase KiwiSaver contributions and adjust the pension age directly impact individual savings, labor force participation, and government revenue.
