Looks like we have another entry for BLiP’s ongoing series of Key Fibs.  This post will not need many words.

Stuff reports that on May 25 John Key told Parliament that the budget cuts to Kiwisaver would not make any difference to the numbers enrolled.  In particular:

“[T]he removal of the $1,000 kickstart contribution will not make a blind bit of difference to the number of people who join KiwiSaver,” Key told Parliament on May 26, claiming the statement was derived from “the formal advice from the Inland Revenue Department”.

Yesterday’s Treasury dump of papers included the advice from the IRD to the Government about Kiwisaver.  The IRD paper included this advice on the likely effects to Kiwisaver providers:

Lower numbers of KiwiSaver members (particularly among the self-employed and children) and therefore lower revenues from fees and/or a greater number of dormant accounts (if affected individuals stop contributing)”.

Can anyone reconcile these statements?  I have tried to but I cannot stretch the language sufficiently.

Another example of a #Keyfib?

    Probably easier for the media to start publishing articles about Key when he tells the truth. That way there’s more space for international news.

      Key is smarmy, voters can overlook, even like smarmy if they believe Key is successful and his economics make them look successful. The rub off effect. Smarmy is in, TV presenters who do smarmy are on the rise, smarmy reality TV, and smarmy news, all on the rise. And that’s how it is before we get sick of smarmy, in fact need to vomt smarmy to move on from smarmy.

        This is what passes for culture now, we have most of our free thinking intellectuals caned because they might lose their jobs in the universities if they speak out against the govt and show the politicians up as the totalitarian shyte they are and so we get tabloid journalism sponsored by the taxpayer as main stream news

        It wasnt just brain fade where Key – actually make that his apologists since he nevers admits a mistake- will later correct, but he claimed it was ‘IRD’s advice !

        Just reading a book on the naval armaments race leading up to WW1, and Asquith when making a speech in parliament about the number of battleships to be built that year , made a mistake about a naval ship that wasnt a battleship, so they had to add that to the number built.

          Mistake? He could at least have the decency of showing some uncertainty rather than insisting that he is right.

    Workers are still joining Kiwisaver every week.
    Rich babies are no longer being signed up to get a free $1000 from the taxpayer.
    That’s what it means.

    • dukeofurl 3.1

    The problem is that can you trust any govt not to change Kiwisaver again – NO

    How about this – compulsory enrolement

    Then
    Next financial crisis- opps need to take some /all of the kiwisaver funds

    • Lanthanide 4.1
      10 July 2015 at 1:21 pm

      Confiscating kiwisaver funds would require a law change. They are private property, no different from a regular bank account.

      • dv 4.1.1
        10 July 2015 at 2:16 pm

        SO what.
        There is a law that allow the banks to confiscate a % of saving if the bank is in trouble passed last year.

          That’s right. All this “tax payer’s money” shit. Is hilarious. Okay then, fisiani, if the tax payers don’t like paying for something why don’t they just stop paying for it? Surely it’s as simple as that? If it’s “tax payer’s money”? Aren’t we talking about money that belongs to “the tax payer”? Isn’t that’s what “the market” is all about? Oh, no, that’s right. It’s government money, eh? A tax payer can’t do anything more about how government spends its money than the next tax payer. That’s because the money doesn’t belong to the tax payer, eh? Right. Got it.

    We were going to enrol 3 children aged 6, 11 and 12 in kiwisaver with a view to kickstarting their future. They and the country will be the poorer for this change.

    Never mind the trust fund children, these are children at the opposite end of the spectrum with no expectation of parental support.

    Shame on this short sighted government.

    Anyhow, looks like John Key will have to face the music sometime soon, Grant Robertson has just laid a formal complain against John Key for “misleading the House”.

    Bit fucking cheeky of Robertson though, if you ask me. It was Metiria Turei that caught John Key in yet another of his endless stream of lies when she asked this question . . .

The list of Keys lies has gone way over 200 by now, a quick google search reveals all the bullshit this shyster Key is foisting on the people of nz & what is worse is they are believing him. What I really want to say about Key cant be said in public as it will get me arrested.

    I agree that Kiwis deserve more they just wont get it. When was the last time you sore a Labour MP with real passion, who would fight tooth and nail for the working class who would be an MP even if it did not pay a wage who would call a spade a spade who would call the PM a liar and get thrown out of the house time and time again and take the whole party with him. Then you would see the news papers sit up, they need somebody to rock the boat.

    It’s the drunken decision making, as if thought up at 5:30 in the morning, which typifies this government’s operational style.

    Just today, the exclusion of the public in the environmental consultation about the Sky City Convention Centre by a govt appointed three person board.

    It’s really scary.

    As far as kiwi Saver goes they ALL fib
    You can not have infinite growth on a finite planet, this sponge we have been sucking from these past 10,000 years, going at light speed in the last 30 …. is dry.
    I guess if half the planet is on fire, and the other half is covered in ice, the global average hasn’t gone up, so all is good.
    Keep those deposits up, and bang out some more kids.
