Barbara Edmonds is adamant she's 'absolutely credible' as Labour's finance spokesperson.

The party's unveiled its Fiscal Plan, promising to return the books to an operating surplus in 2028/29.

Edmonds is confident every campaign promise so far is fully costed and funded.

She's not providing a figure for returning the former pay equity scheme, saying that will be decided in bargaining.

Edmonds told Mike Hosking this isn't her first rodeo.

An investment fund manager says political parties need to reach a consensus on KiwiSaver, so people can get on with saving. 

ACT has announced it wants to cut the tax on investment earnings through KiwiSaver, while also scrapping the $260-a-year Government contribution. 

Labour, National, New Zealand First and Opportunity also have revealed plans for the scheme.

Milford Asset Management KiwiSaver general manager Murray Harris says we need a cross-party accord.

"If we change the rules or make it too confusing, people disengage and then they'll stop saving. So a long-term plan with one set of rules aren't changed by progressive Governments."
