    Act says the retirement age shouldn't differ for Maori, who have a lower life expectancy

    Act says the retirement age shouldn't differ for Maori, who have a lower life expectancy


    The Party's alternative budget, includes proposing lifting the Super age over eight years, to 67.

    Te Pati Maori has previously said it should be lower for Maori, who die seven to 10 years earlier.

    Leader David Seymour says his Party's line is retirement shouldn't be about race.

    He says so long as people live to different ages, a retirement age is inherently unfair, yet every country has one.
