It looks like the enemies of New Zealand and NZ's fair and wide ranging superannuation system are out and about. I've noticed a bump in readers and I have received some feedback. All feedback so far starts off with an insult of some kind and then takes umbrage when I insult them right back. That's right, an orchestrated campaign has started, all repeating the same talking points.
Let's make this very simple for the idiots out there who want a free lunch. You are not entitled to anything the law of New Zealand says you're not entitled to. And on the subject of national superannuation the law is very clear; you only get one state pension. That's it, get this in your thick skulls you handout mentality losers. If you or your partner are in receipt of a state pension from another jurisdiction, that may mean you lose all entitlement in Kiwiland (of course you should).
Why is this so important? The answer to that question is also very simple. If those people who want to double dip (in effect) are allowed to get away with it then the NZ superannuation system will crash. It will become defunct. Here's why - read carefully - NZ has only 4.5 million people. Outside good old Kiwiland there are - wait for it - billions upon billions of people. Many of these people are retired with state pensions they can transfer to NZ if they wish. Certainly there are tens if not hundreds of millions of this kind. Get the idea? We cannot have a situation where the hard working taxpayer in NZ subsidises the state pensions of other countries. And it's even more ludicrous to think this subsidy would be the result of this or that NZer wanting to shack up with a foreigner. There we have it in one fell swoop, the family structure of NZ undermined and a bankrupt pension system.
Conclusion: if you think you're hard done by in New Zealand, I suggest you go somewhere else and stop stinking the place up.
