The Spousal Deduction Petition has been extended to May 10th. Your support is appreciated.
Repealing Section 70 of the Social Security Act 2018.
We believe this law adversely affects those in a permanent relationship with a person who has an overseas pension; that a couple is not treated as individuals but as an 'economic unit', with the New Zealander then finding they lose most, if not all, of their superannuation which is an 'individual entitlement'. This form of means testing can cause not just a monetary loss but a loss of independence. This puts a strain on relationships and affects people's emotional and physical health. www.parliament.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
