National says superannuation age should not rise before 2044

The National Party has reiterated its view that the superannuation age should not rise before the year 2044. The age of eligibility would then rise gradually from 65 to 67. The National Party is not saying how much money its policy would save, because there are too many variabilities. Only ACT is equally committed to raising the age of eligibility to 67, and much earlier than National would consider. After reaching 67, eligibility would be indexed to life expectancy.
