Q: Could you give me your pitch for why we need to change KiwiSaver and what you think needs to happen?
Leonard argues for a universal, asset-owning approach to KiwiSaver, citing long-term growth and personal wealth creation as reasons to reform; he points to Australia's Keating-era reforms as a macroeconomic blueprint, while emphasizing the need for coherence, patience, and bipartisan support.

Q: How has your international experience influenced your view of New Zealand's economy?
