Good Returns and AMP have joined forces to launch a new website to promote New Zealanders' views on retirement savings.
The site supertalk.co.nz is ground breaking in the way it tackles this issue. Instead of just being a discussion forum, supertalk.co.nz includes news, columns, details and analysis of what each political party is offering, and a regular poll on key questions.
AMP general manager John Drabble says www.supertalk.co.nz is an important vehicle for stimulating debate on superannuation in New Zealand.
"Because of the uncertain framework on superannuation, some people aren't doing anything to prepare financially for their future, and that's a real concern," says Drabble.
"However regardless of whether the parties debating superannuation reach a consensus or not, the issue of planning for retirement is clearly one which affects every New Zealander.
"That's why everyone needs to take responsibility for this issue, and I encourage you to contribute to the debate at supertalk.co.nz," he says.
Good Returns editor Philip Macalister says by including resource material, comment and analysis people will become better educated on superannuation which will help them understand the issues and promote improved discussion and debate.
In the past, for instance around the referendum, debate tended to get diverted away from the major issues onto some of the peripheral ones. We plan to break superannuation into its various components, and have articles and debates on the constituent parts. The idea is that the debate would remain focussed on the key issues.
By better educating readers it will become easier to establish broad consensus around the key issues.
