During the Level 2 Economics field trip to Wellington we visited parliament and got the opportunity to meet and speak to Matt Doocey (local Waimakariri MP). Issie Mullen-Winiata took the opportunity to ask Matt about why Kiwisaver contributions aren’t compulsory for employers for under 18 year olds. Issie has been working with Matt to come up with a plan to change this and she is now at the petition stage. Below is a link to the petition if anyone wishes to support this initiative. Well done Issie!
