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.

The next Tawa Probus meeting will be held on Monday, 17th June, commencing 9.30am, at the Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, Tawa.

At this meeting Wellington Hospitals Foundation chair Bill Day is going to tell us the story of the proposed new Wellington Regional Children's Hospital
project.

November 7, 2018 marked the start of the construction of our new Wellington Regional Children’s Hospital. The 7000-square metre, three-storey new children’s hospital is expected to open by early 2021. The new, purpose-built facility will allow us to provide high-quality care to our young patients – bringing inpatient services and outpatient clinics under one roof, and allowing for the integration of services.

The first ever children’s hospital in New Zealand was built by the community, and opened in Wellington in 1912. Now a new children’s hospital is again being built and instigated by the support of Mr Mark Dunajtschik and the community.
