New Zealand’s major political parties appear to be moving closer together on KiwiSaver – but there are some significant differences in how far they’re willing to go.

Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker look at plans to increase employer contributions, whether compulsory saving is the answer to New Zealand’s retirement shortfall, and why businesses may ultimately carry much of the cost.

Caci founder Jackie Smith didn’t set out to build one of New Zealand’s best-known beauty businesses.

Starting out as a nurse, Smith and her husband David launched their first clinic in 1994 before expanding Caci into a nationwide franchise.

She joins Liam Dann on Money Talks to discuss the risks they took along the way, why they kept reinvesting in the business rather than spending their success, and why she believes getting ahead financially requires sacrifice.

Plus, Smith explains why sometimes taking the seemingly safe option can be the biggest risk of all.

Money Talks: Caci Clinic founder Jackie Smith on how she’d transform healthcare

Plus, they break down the latest OCR decision, why different parts of New Zealand arguably need very different interest rates, and what to expect from the next GDP figures.
