New Zealanders deserve a better response to superannuation problemsFAIRFAX NZ Prime Minister Bill English announced on Monday that the age of eligibility for the New Zealand Super will rise to 67. OPINION: This appears to be National's response to the Retirement Commissioner's 2016 three-yearly retirement policy review. It seems more like a gimmick to get rid of highly inconvenient questions about retirement policy. National probably thinks its response to that pesky 2016 retirement review is done and dusted.
