John has said he would resign if the pension age was raised

Snip
"The ageing population presents risk to the medium-term fiscal position particularly to the extent that demographic forecasts may be too low or high," Treasury warns in the mountain of Budget documents issued on Thursday.

Funny thing Logans Run often gets a reference in our conversations, my wife used to watch it on black and white TV while I was on shift work!
Pension has always been a political football, the understanding when I started my apprenticeship, was that social security was collected to pay for it!
National super was like a life insurance you pay the premium and expect it to be paid out at it's agreed maturity date, no questions asked!
Various politicians fucked about with the super fund but they still collected the premiums so I expect to get mine as paid for all those years!
Muldoon was the worst of the robbers who stole the national super fund and mixed it into the general tax take for his own gain.
Yes I did an apprenticeship with the Railways, went to sea as an engineer for a few years and then came back and worked for the NZED.
Didn't have any free shit, had to pay for my handicapped kids education and care for most of his life and cover my own medical with Southern Cross.
Haven't had fuck all claims on ACC but now can not afford a bike because of ACC and my little diesel 4x4 truck costs a bomb to register because of ACC content!
My father was not allowed to go to the war and had to put up with a lot of shit from some of those that did and did fuck all but played big shot when they returned!
Everything is not always as it seems, the oldies have paid their premiums and should get their pension as contracted, unfortunately there may not be enough "earners" left to pay for it later when it comes time to collect!
There would be enough money if the politicians had left it alone and not robbed it to pay for bribes for the younger generation to keep themselves in power!
If the younger generation had used their brains and voted with their heads instead falling for all the "bribes and handouts" we might have been OK!
I'm sticking with "John" the dear leader on this one!![]()
So it was you that allowed it to happen. Hey, ya don't just wake up and watch a system not work overnight.
A bone for the plebs
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Banks is just the fall guy for this, they have all (political parties) been doing this for years ... could be repercussions if he loses big on this!![]()
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Now they're throwing compost at him
I had to lol at the homepage picture for the story, if looks could kill. It totally shatters the Norman Wisdom look I had him going for.

To which whom has accustomed you?
I recall an article last year that reported a rapidly growing number of eligible retirees plodding on regardless because there simply wasn’t qualified replacements for their jobs.
But I’m sure all those McDiplomas in tourism majoring in underwater basket weaving will start producing the funds required to finance my very reasonable retirement requirements by the time I get there.![]()
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
You sound like you have about 7-8 years head start on me. I agree with what you say here (maybe a few less !!!!)
So which way did you vote when Muldoon promised everyone could have superannuation for free instead of via the compulsory savings scheme that the Kirk labour government introduced?
Its been estimated the kirk scheme would be worth $300 billion by now. That could pay for a few oldies retirements.

I was born at the start of WW2 - I never voted for Muldoon he was the most socialist prime minister NZ ever had!
My first vote ever went to Labour vowed never ever again - voted for Social Credit for years - voted for National once against Clark!
Don't like any of them currently but think I would rather run with Key as the best of a bad bunch - probably vote Social Democrat again.
Don't believe National Super is an entitlement it was bought and paid for over a long time like ACC but like most things government controlled:
"When you get there the cupboard is bare"!![]()
We scrimped and scratched to pay for Government super as well and they fucked with that as well.
Politicians are the worst breed of legal thieves in the country but every post war generation has alowed them to screw the future for our young ones - cunts!![]()
