MANA says raising the age of entitlement will rob Maori
MANA says raising the age of entitlement from 65 to 67 will rob Maori.
"MANA says changes to
social services must consider their impact on
Maori.
Maori people already die younger than everyone
else, so raising the
retirement age will mean even fewer
Maori will get the pension because Maori
just don’t
live that long. Raising the age of entitlement without
proper
consultation is just another example of how
Maori perspectives are sidelined
in social
services."
