Te Pāti Māori says Māori should receive New Zealand Superannuation seven to 10 years before everyone else at age 55-57.

Looks like their policy for the next election.

How do we sign up to the local iwi? My adopted great grandparent must somehow make me entitled?
So straight after the Treaty Principles Bill they announce that there should be different rules for māori versus the rest of the population?
 
I’d be in favour of no super whatsoever, but a govt-facilitated tax deduction that goes towards your own personal super, that they invest into funds and manage. You get to choose when you would like to start drawing down. Once it’s gone, it’s gone

Similar to KiwiSaver, but you get to choose the age that you can start withdrawing. Anything left goes to your estate. Any shortfalls - well, you plan for this and structure accordingly

i don’t see how he could possibly be any worse than what we have now.

i can tell you though, one of those eggs that keep glueing themselves to the road down here is married to his twin sister.

for whatever that’s worth.
It's an improvement I guess.

Also interesting to see Golriz's comments. They aren't targeting the Wellington seat because she's Green it's because the Wellington council is a disaster. And Wayne Brown has improved things in Auckland over the previous left leaning Mayor. She isn't based in reality it seems
 
On that Te Pāti Māori policy. When this has been brought up in the past it is due to life expectancy and wanting to get money they would have got for retirement.

If you retire at 65 and die at 70 there isn't any payout for the money you would have got for 71-85.

They have this backwards. They should be looking at improving life expectancy. Focus on health initiatives.

I think it's already happened but including for white guys..... I'm not even 60 but yesterday was asked if I had a Gold Card when shopping at New World.

So based on life expectancy, Asians (who live even longer) have to retire even later? Maybe a list based on race that determines how long your race lives and bases retirement age on that?

And why stop there, men should retire earlier than woman? People with life shortening illnesses (eg diabetes) should retire earlier? People with physical jobs that stuff their body, retire earlier?

Seymour was right all along!

Exactly it's stupid, which is why it shouldn't get any air time.

I wish TPM would stop shooting themselves in the foot with these ridiculous policies.
