1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: A couple of predictions for you this morning at twenty

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 1: eight minutes after five one, the National Party will campaign

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: on a partial float of Kiwi Bank at the next election.

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: I think it's looking and sounding more and more like

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: they will. The question is whether voters will care. I

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: don't think so. Asset sales are not the great electoral

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: disaster that they were once portrayed. As asked John Key,

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: who whipped Phil Goff's butt in twenty eleven on a

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: platform of partially privatizing assets. It was a devastating loss

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: for Phil Goff and the Labor Party. Key, we savor

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: another prediction for you this morning. We will pay and

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: our employers will pay. I think twelve percent before long.

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: It's currently eight percent for a piece. That will increase too,

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: and the need for it to increase is just look

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: across the Tasman where they have four trillion dollars in

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: retirement funds. Our Key, we saver balances collectively just over

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: a billion. It's David and Goliath, so we need to

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: save more. And if we're serious about the Key taking

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: on the Aussies, they need more cash too. For more
