The Retirement Commissioner is asking for a careful and considered approach for changing the retirement age.
During his State of the Nation speech yesterday, the Prime Minister said increasing the retirement age was inevitable.
Christopher Luxon says as life expectancy rises, the pension age of 65 is too low.
Jane Wrightson told Mike Hosking it's good it is now on the political agenda, so the people can hear ideas from all parties.
She says political parties will need to discuss what the next decade will look like, and they need to carefully look at how all people will be affected by any changes.
