Inside the Government's u-turn over KiwiSaver reforms

Description:

24 hours is a long time in politics.

On Tuesday, the Government tabled a bill aimed at fixing a GST imbalance between small and large KiwiSaver providers.

However, after it was reported the changes would potentially take $103 billion away from people's KiwiSaver funds by 2070, the backlash was swift and severe - and the bill was pulled on Wednesday.

So how badly did the Government handle the communication around this bill, and has some poor media relations scuppered a law change the country actually needed?

Today, Liam Dann, NZ Herald Business Editor at Large and host of Money Talks, joins Damien to discuss what went wrong for the Government.
