Cooking the Books

One money tip from … Peter Dunne


Listen Later

Each week the NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB's Cooking The Books podcast tackles a different money problem. For the last three weeks we've gone political, asking the leader of each political party in Parliament for their best money tip for the average person.
Today, it's United Future leader Peter Dunne. Hosted by Frances Cook.
Politicians are always banging on about the economy; who has the better understanding of it, how they're the person to get our economy running hotter, why the other guy's ideas are stupid.
Which is all well and good, but what about on the day-to-day level?
Do our politicians remember what it's like to be the little guy like you or me, and are they keeping an eye on the issues affecting our lives? How hard it is to make ends meet? Do they have a few suggestions on what we can do for life to be a bit easier?
Money issues touch every part of our lives, and I want to know what the people in charge think about it.
So, I had a chat to United Future leader Peter Dunne, about how to use your KiwiSaver better, particularly for saving up for a first home.
We also talked about how he'd like to see KiwiSaver expanded to help first home buyers, whether there's enough education about the scheme, and what to do post-KiwiSaver when people retire. 
For the interview, listen to the podcast.
Still to come: Labour leader Jacinda Ardern.
Already out: Maori Party co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell, Prime Minister Bill English, Green Party co-leader James Shaw, ACT leader David Seymour.
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters declined an invitation to take part.
