How the NZ election could change your pay, your KiwiSaver and your rental
2026-11-01
New Zealand votes on 7 November, and this election could change more about your money than you think. Soph admits she’s never read a policy in her life, so Vic walks her through what’s on the table. They cover what National and Labour each want to do with your KiwiSaver, who’d be paying more into it, Labour’s proposed capital gains tax on rental and investment property, and the change for new parents that both parties agree on. Plus, does the sharemarket actually do better under National or Labour? If you want to cut through the campaign noise before you vote, start here.

The Curve is a platform to learn more about money. To change the stereotype that these conversations are typically boring, and only for men in suits.

Learn alongside her as she asks all the questions you're thinking, but might feel a little embarrassed to ask. This podcast will give you all the tools and knowledge to achieve financial freedom, as well as (hopefully) having a laugh along the way.
