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."

US correspondent Richard Arnold says Trump has been urging his base to get out and vote - but his latest campaign ads have raised questions.

"US law prohibits Government funds from being used for political campaigning. Trump, though, claims this is not campaigning, these are simply public service announcements."
