1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Another look at key. We say that they are impact 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: of being able to pull money out for a first time. 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: So we've got a new report and they say the 4 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: average withdrawal of seventy five grand at thirty five years 5 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: of age should leave enough for a modest retirement by 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: sixty five. Clear Matthews, Doctor, Associate professor at MASSI, and 7 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: the report author is back with this clear Good morning, 8 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: morning mate. I suppose this is all ideological, isn't it? 9 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: Whether you see housing as a retirement tool, therefore pulling 10 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: it out of another retirement tool really doesn't matter. 11 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: Does it. No, that's right. It tends to be a 12 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: little bit easier to manage your retirement if you're in 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 2: your own home. It gives you that stability, and therefore 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: it does make sense from that percept that's been about 15 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: able to use your key, we save it to a system. 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Getting to that point, is this emergency thing become an issue? 17 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: In other words, I'm skinned giving me my money back? 18 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: Is that a problem? 19 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 2: I think it is. I know a lot of people 20 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: complain about how hard it is to get money out 21 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: for hardship, but given the volume of with ralls, either 22 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: it is too easy or as I sign that there 23 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: is really significant problems in the economy and therefore that 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: needs to be resolved. Because having large amounts of money 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: coming out of Key We Save it is not good 26 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: for everyone's retirement. 27 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: What about the overarching thing that everyone keeps messing with it? 28 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean the government messes with it. We mess with it, 29 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, and the whole idea of retirement saving is 30 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: put away and forget about it. Don't mess with it. 31 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 2: Oh, that's been an ongoing issue. Yes, it's needed some 32 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: improvements and I'm probably still not quite where we want it, 33 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: which and I hate saying that because the last thing 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: we really need is to have it fiddled with again, 35 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: because every time the government of whatever stripe do something, 36 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: do some kind of adjustment, it just makes people nervous about, well, 37 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: what are they going to do next time? And we 38 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: can't afford people to be nervous about their Key We Savior. 39 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: We want them to trust it, to know it's going 40 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: to be therefore their retirement and therefore to be able 41 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: to make good use of it. 42 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: Why don't we, like Australia they seem to have solved it. 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: I can't answer that question. You'd have to ask our politicians. 44 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: No, But if you were looking at a model, clear, magic, 45 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: one time, clear, in charge of solving this problem once overall, 46 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't you say, Australia or Singapore, make it compulsory, expercent, 47 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: get into it, stop moaning, and we'll see you in 48 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: twenty years. 49 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: There are certy elements of that. I'm not sure i'd 50 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: want to follow the Australian model completely, but there are 51 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: certainly elements here. I'd like to see us with higher 52 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: contribution rates if I'd like to see it compulsory. So 53 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: there are certainly some things there. I just wouldn't take 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: the Australian role as a whole. 55 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: Nice to talk to you, clear, Claire Matthews. The old 56 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: key we save a debate, it never stops it.
