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.

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.

An open letter to the owners of the dog that attacked mine on Monday afternoon at the Rangiora Dog Park. I hope you see this or someone knows who you are and passes it on.

I hope you see this or someone knows who you are and passes it on.
I apologise I didn't stick around to talk to you, I was far more concerned at getting urgent treatment for my injured dog. But I did hear you say that "He had never done anything like that before..." And I believe you. However he has now. You have seen first hand your dog attack another unprovoked. It was vicious & scary.
My message to you is please , please don't ignore this. I don't want this to happen again to another dog. I sincerely hope you will now take action. Whether it be visiting a behavioural specialist, investing in a muzzle or simply not allowing your dog to be unleashed.
Luckily my dog is recovering ok after an afternoon in surgery, however we may never go back to that park again. which is unfortunate for my other 2 dogs! If you don't take action you will be risking not only the life of another dog but also you're own.
Also a big thank you to others who stepped in & tried to get the dog off of mine. A very unfortunate incident, but an opportunity to ensure it doesn't happen again! Stay close to your dogs when you're at the Park everyone!
