After visiting ACG Strathallan we were confident it was the right choice.”

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

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.
But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.
