Subject: Official Information request - NZ Super - Expert Group established to provide independent advice on welfare system improvements

Dear Carmel Sepuloni,
can you please explain why the NZ Superannuation sec 70, is out of the scope of the Welfare Expert Advisory Group (WEAG)?
Why is the NZ Superannuation not part of the NZ Welfare system?
You are using an outdated legislation (sec 70) to confiscate self funded overseas pensions (equivalent to kiwi saver) and denying rightful earned pensions to people, who paid their taxes for more than 20 years in NZ and should qualify to receive the NZ Super!
This fills your coffers every year with NZ$400 millions and growing! Do you call this fair?
If you have just a bit of conscience, you as Minister should stop this injustice immediately!
Stop this corrupt behaviour now - lets do this.
Yours faithfully,

Guenter Langenbucher
