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.

Balance, Strength, Posture, Flexibility, Relaxation, Calmness, Joy & Well-being

Qigong is the foundation to Tai Chi. It is relatively simpler than Tai Chi and has more healing than Ti Chi.
Qigong is the practice of moving meditation, using the body, mind, breath, sound vibrations and Qi (energy) to initiate positive transformation within the body, mind and spirit.
Regular practice can improve your health, immune system, spine, pelvic floor muscles, core strength, serenity, relaxation and inner joy.

Beginners classes start from the 24th Wed and 25th Thu of July (school term).

Do you agree the Crusaders rugby team should keep their name?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) chairman Brent Impey has revealed the Crusaders will be keeping their name in 2020 after calls to change it in the wake of the Christchurch shootings on March 15.

The Crusaders name debate has been hotly disputed after the terrorist attack in Christchurch, where 51 people were killed after a gunman opened fire on Muslim worshippers in two mosques in the city.

The name-change pressure emerged because of the centuries-old sensitivity over the history of the Crusades, which were bloody medieval conflicts between Muslims and Christians.

Motorists will soon have to pay $15 to park all day in a city council-owned central Christchurch parking building.

The Christchurch City Council decided to increase the price from $10 to $15 citing the Christchurch Hospital park-and-ride operating from the parking building and new shops and businesses opening nearby.

"There is now high demand for short stay parking and the Lichfield St parking building regularly nears capacity," it said.

The new charge will start on July 1. The council said it hoped charging more would free up more short stay parking spaces.

The Lichfield St car park building has 805 parks and initially ran below capacity.
