Rewarding Service
註釋In recent years superannuation has become one of New Zealand's most contentious social and political issues. This book traces the controversial history of public service superannuation. It began in colonial times when it was seen as a way of rewarding government employees for their service, of guarding against corruption, and of enabling "the State to rid itself of elderly, infirm or unwanted staff without imposing undue hardship." The modern Government Superannuation Fund began in 1948, when several separate public schemes were brought together to create a single institution. The closing chapters of the book discuss the changing political climate of the 1980s and 1990s and subsequent policy reform.
