Dunne:
Flexi-Super proving a winner in Ohariu
Ohariu MP Peter Dunne said he was getting very positive
feedback on UnitedFuture’s Flexi-Super policy while
campaigning in Ohariu to continue as the electorate’s
MP.
He said he was getting a very positive overall
response from the community, but was particularly taken by
how interested people were in the Flexi-Super.
The
policy would allow people to take superannuation anywhere
from 60 at a reduced amount and progressively enhanced each
through to 70 if people waited longer.
“I have
been delighted with the response generally, but it is the
sheer number who have come up to me and really wanted to
know more about the Flexi-Super policy that has surprised
me,” Mr Dunne said.
“I think giving people
choice and control over how they live their later years is
really striking a chord.
“When they see the
potential for a sustainable Super scheme that allows them to
live the way they want, they are impressed,” he said.
Mr Dunne said he thought the idea had real potential for
take-up, given the open response it has received from other
parties, including the Maori Party and Act in the recent
small party’ leaders’ debate.
“A lot of people
clearly like this idea – and it is completely
achievable,” he said.

Gordon Campbell: On The Eruption And Tourism Safety
Adventure tourism is a central theme in New Zealand tourism, and by definition, adventure always includes a certain level of risk. That said, New Zealand itself is also at risk of being seen as a tourism destination where commercial factors – rather than safety factors – are routinely allowed to determine the point where the boundary line of acceptable risk is being drawn.
