Migrant super hit

Winston Peters has returned to his attacks on the superannuation payments to some elderly migrants. At a Blenheim public meeting he said ‘‘the Super pie is not infinite – it cannot be an open resource for all and sundry to dine on’’. One way to protect it would be to stop access by ‘‘parental reunion migrants’’ who qualify for the full pension after 10 years here. ‘‘There are already over 68,000 such people,’’ he said. NZ First would cut the entitlement to reflect the time elderly migrants had been in the country.
