John MacDonald: Michael Cullen would be turning in his grave

Michael Cullen would be turning in his grave if he knew about the National Party’s plan to let people dip into their KiwiSaver to pay for the bond on a flat.

Under a National-led government, anyone under-30 moving into a rental property will be able to do just that.

Apparently, the idea came from the Young Nationals and, according to National’s housing spokesperson Chris Bishop, they did quite a bit of consultation on it before deciding to run with it.
