Logie JanJAN LOGIE (Green): That was quicker than I expected! Thank you; I'm happy to take a call on behalf of the Green Party on the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income (Fair Residency) Amendment Bill and I'll start by acknowledging the member and the good luck to have a bill drawn from the ballot. It's always a moment for celebration in this House and one that not everyone gets to experience; so good on you.With that said sorry the Greens will not be voting for this. While I do recognise that the residency requirements in New Zealand are lower than in many other countries this is one of the issues—superannuation and the really important role that it plays in our society around keeping levels of poverty really relatively low in our older population—that's really precious to us. We don't want to see changes that risk those low levels of poverty and we don't want to see a two-tier system for older New Zealanders. And while we may be open to the conversation we would like to see—and do believe that New Zealand at some stage should have—a comprehensive conversation as a country about superannuation and whether any changes do need to be made but that that should be a Government-led process that is fully considered by the country.I would just note in terms of the ideas of affordability and the idea that it's not fair that people may not have contributed for so long that they may be New Zealand - born citizens who have been working overseas and then they come back in their later years. I think a lot of New Zealanders actually stay in contact now and operate globally. They may be living in the UK and be involved being on boards even or providing advice to groups here in New Zealand or being very active in their whānau on Zoom or whatever other technology. Just because somebody isn't based in this country does not mean they're not contributing or involved. I think the world now is quite different from how it was; in the sense that you have to be here for 20 years before being be able to access superannuation regardless of your birth or your sense of connection and involvement in our community doesn't make sense to me on the face of it.I also want to point out that the core thing around superannuation for the Green Party is not about a return on your investment to this country; it is a policy that ensures we can keep levels of poverty low in our older population a population that is vulnerable in terms of discrimination as well as marginalisation and isolation. That has been incredibly successful for us and we wouldn't want to see that eroded.In terms of the issues that have been raised around that we need to consider the affordability of superannuation. I would point members to the Retirement Commissioner's statement of earlier this year which was reversing their position on raising the age for entitlement and saying that actually in the worst case scenarios of what percentage of GDP we would have to spend on superannuation it's 7 percent—that's the worst case scenario. And that would be 7 percent of GDP by 2060 and that's actually a level that's in line with other countries right at the moment providing sustainable superannuation schemes. So I really would challenge that idea that it isn't sustainable at the levels of entitlement that we have at the moment and I do think there are possibly more pressing issues to be looking at.So well done and I'm sure we'll actually be interested in being involved in the conversation but we can't support it at this reading.
