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.

Power Outages

David from Silverdale

Does anyone else wonder about the number and frequency of power outages in this area? I counted between 10 and 12 last year (including two all day outages due to maintenance).

I counted between 10 and 12 last year (including two all day outages due to maintenance). And they have started again this year. Yesterday I called in an outage at 11:00 am and the automated message from Vector never changed all day. Even by 9:00pm they were unable to say when power would be restored. It seems a few gusts of wind, a rain dump or some lightening can cause an outage. It’s gotten so that I regularly check the weather and prepare buckets of water just in case. It seems like a very fragile system.
