Superannuation Fair for all.

The attached article by Kelly Dennett is an improved effort from the Sunday Star Times, contrasting with the “poor” earlier  efforts  (full of perceptions and little research) from Editor Tracy Watkins.

Dennett touches upon the “width of NZ Super” the many elements, and the consequences of one-off changes .

The search for silver bullets re NZ Super issues constantly remains a frustration. You build upon good policy, and NZ Super is right up there, too many commentators just want the limelight headline .

No alternative to NZ Super exists, so the Levers to make sure  it remains generational must be carefully thought through.

Unfortunately MMP policy history is littered with poor, knee jerk and often invalid assumptions , how do we limit silliness , when policy  advocates  fools ,are everywhere!
