Increasing the age of eligibility is hardly new; its been done many times before. When it was increased to 65, NZ life expectancy was 4 years less than what it is now, so changing eligibility to 67 still gives the average person 2 more years in super than was intended back when it was set at 65.
What a pity that Muldoon scrapped Labour's contributory scheme - the same sort of stupidity being pushed now by ACT.
