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.

With the help from of our 'Neighbourly Team', I will attempt to explain:
The main post will display a white 'bar' with the word "Reply'.
So away you go. On close attention, one will note the comments follow the left hand margin.
As the comments increase, (these are called 'threads'...) there may be one thread you particularly wish to comment on.
Now is the time to use 'Reply', written in BLUE at the end of the thread comment. This will create an indent for the text so one knows the new comment applies to the new thread.
Hence one will note the 'margin' has moved to the right.
This action can also be used by another contributor and keeps the conversation focused on all inputs, rather than back to the main post at times.
My NT team member attached a cool graphic with Superman showing the 'POW!" in the correct place ... but my computer won't let me save and/or share unfortunately.
SO: just keep an open eye and mind to ensure a reply fits the comment.
