Superannuants are NZs biggest BLUDGERS!!! NZs Oldies are frittering away the future of their grandchildren while they gobble up health dollars in heart surgery, hip replacements and huge volumes of prescription medications as their bodies pay the price of living the good life..... ...Income figures this week from Statistics NZ show that more than 80,000 New Zealanders over the age of 65 receive wages, salaries and investment returns. There are no numbers showing exactly how many receive both salaries and NZ Superannuation, but official estimates are that 98% of those over 65 claim the benefit. There are 80,400 people over 65 receiving average weekly wages of NZ$737, while 35,100 were self employed earning NZ$597 a week. There are 318,500 receiving an average NZ$150 a week from investments. All up they are earning over NZ$6 billion a year from their moonlighting while 581,500 are also receiving an average of NZ$325 a week in government transfers, including New Zealand Superannuation. The Government-paid superannuation paid to those 80,000 plus seniors are costing much poorer taxpayers at least NZ$1.3 billion a year. Many of those receiving the benefit will be retired judges, politicians, chief executives, doctors, diplomats and lawyers who are well able to look after themselves from their own pensions or salaries. So where is the public outrage?..... t.co/zLBTqvKJKY
