Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier's enforced retirement has sparked discussion about reforming an old law.
The Ombudsmen Act 1975 states an Ombudsman must resign once they turn 72- and Boshier's resigned ahead of his birthday.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Boshier's still making excellent decisions- and should be granted exception.
