Collingwood is exploring scrapping the on-field warm-up you see on match day to instead running out just moments before the first ball up, earmarking the Round 21 game against Geelong as the introduction.

Currently, clubs run out 15 minutes prior to the game to warm up.

This suggestion would have them warm up on-field well beforehand, then go back into the rooms as a light show takes centre stage at the MCG to fire up the crowd, then run out and simply start.

Yeah, look, I mean, I think it actually, if you step back and take the politics out of it, of the five things we talked about, lifting contribution rates, obviously making it compulsory for workers,

the baby bonus to top up a paid parental leave and obviously the 65 plus workers.

I don't think, I struggle to see how other parties would have an issue with that.

And I think there's been commentators on all sides of the debate who may or may not be supporters of us who actually sort of have come out quite positive on key components of it.

So I think

I really think this is what we do need to do.

Having lived in the US and Australia and Canada, there's just a much bigger, deeper commitment to their superannuation schemes and building that.

I just think this is common sense, to be honest.

Well, I think these are things that have been talked about for some time, right?

I mean, we talked about lifting contribution rates, but so have many other commentators.

You know, you've had retirement commissioners, you've had people like Fraser Winarai, you know, actually give thought pieces around what needs to happen.

And I think there is quite good alignment that these are sensible next steps that need to happen in the schemes.

Your point's a fair one, which is how do you make sure successive governments don't keep fiddling with it?

But I do think these are the substantive things that people have said.

These are the weaknesses of the scheme that we've got in New Zealand relative to other countries.

And Mike, you know this better than anybody, but I mean, like, if you look at Australian savings rates, I think they're close to like 24%.

In New Zealand, they're 17.
