What is Diane Maxwell suggesting in this article? That NZ Super is unaffordable? John Key assured us it was affordable and he is a nice guy so was he lying? Surely not.

Just when you think Diane is being traitorous to her baby boomer generation (the greedies) her suggestion is to push the retirement age up to 67 by 2034. Do the maths the last baby boomer retires in 2029. Why doesn't she suggest that after 2034 people not already on NZ Super will have to fund their own retirement with limited Govt. assistance much like they did after the last baby boomer graduated from University. Tertiary education then became unaffordable.
I bet lots of boomers will vote for a National govt tax cut next year rather than contributions to the Cullen fund to help us through the bulge. F**king greedy boomers make me want to puke.
Hope this doesn't come across too strong for those born between 1946 and 1964 but come on give the next generation a chance.
Sorry just realized this should really be in the off market discussion section, it is just that I discussed the retirement issue earlier in this thread so I used it.
p.s. some of my best friends are baby boomers.
