New Zealanders' Australian retirement savings: a current gap in trans-Tasman retirement savings portability settings means that New Zealanders' Australian retirement savings sitting with the Australian Tax Office are unable to be transferred to KiwiSaver accounts. Given the ease of movement between Australia and New Zealand, this is an issue likely to affect many New Zealanders. Amendments in this bill would progress a 2019 commitment by our Prime Minister and the Australian Prime Minister to seeing New Zealanders access their lost Australian retirement savings. The amendments in the bill are a first step, then changes to Australian law will need to be made and diplomatic procedures completed before retirement savings can be transferred from the Australian Tax Office to KiwiSaver accounts.
