David Seymour: ACT Party leader indicates party could be looking to change retirement age

from Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast · host Newstalk ZB

The ACT Party has unveiled their party list ahead of the election - and they've placed Paul Henry in the top five and kept Seymour, McKee, and Hoggard at the top. Paul Henry also indicated that ACT would be looking to bump the retirement age up to 67, but allow people to access their KiwiSavers from age 65. ACT Leader David Seymour says the party would stagger retirement out - meaning people may have to work an extra few months before they reach the threshold. "It's been our official policy for a long time, we'll confirm it when we release an alternative budget. Everybody likes talking about bottom lines, but I'll just point to how much influence ACT has been able to have without setting bottom lines."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
