National Super.
Sir,—ln reply to J. Marshall and M. King: if they were 60 they would be standing in front of the queue to collect the National Super. If only the over 65 were entitled to National Super, what would the in-between 60 and 65 live on? Unemployment benefit perhaps? They have the right to stop working at 60. I think a means test would be appropriate here. Social benefits in New Zealand are not ' the highest and the best in the world.—Yours, etc., E. WEBSTER. November 8, 1981.
