Poll: Is it time to raise New Zealand's superannuation age?

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.

New/old Milo recipe

Alex from Stratford

land development

Lisa from Brooklands - Vogeltown

Kia ora koutou, much to my dismay the stunning vista of beautiful trees and landscape on the Brooklands side of Vogeltown park hill has all but disappeared - however, I do appreciate the need for homes if that's what the land is being cleared for.
