Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.

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

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

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."

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.

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.

A fire at an Invercargill school is being treated as suspicious, police say.
Invercargill police are appealing for information following the fire at Waihopai School on Saturday morning.

Police and Fire and Emergency NZ (Fenz) were called to the primary school, on Herbert St, about 2.50am.

The alarm system and the quick response from firefighters meant there was only minor damage and no reported injuries, a police spokeswoman said. The fire is being treated as deliberate and an investigation was under way.

Anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area around the time of the fire or who had information on the incident is asked to contact police on 03 2110400 or give information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
