The age of retirement is back in the forefront of news this week after a report from the OECD recommended means testing the age of eligibility for NZ Super or risk an unsustainable rise in public debt. 

The agency says New Zealand's ageing population will continue to become a prevalent issue as the government tries to pull the economy out of the red.

Winston Peters has leaked, and the Government has confirmed, that this will be the final year of fees-free support for tertiary students. 

The support was first introduced as a first year free incentive to help get more young people into further education, and was changed to be final year free last year.
