The intention of the Government to reorganise the Public Service superannuation schemes next year with the object of removing anomalies was announced by the Minister of Finance, the Hon. W. Nash, when replying to the second reading debate on the Social Security Bill in the House of Representatives last night. The Minister denied that these schemes would disappear in consequence of the universal superannuation scheme envisaged in the Bill. After referring to the position of civil servants and others in superannuation schemes, the Minister said the Government had decided to introduce universal superannuation at the age of 65. The Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. A. Hamilton: “Does that mean that the Public Service superannuation schemes will ultimately go out?” Mr Nash: “No, I have no idea of any of these schemes being discontinued.- The Government has in mind, however, the reorganisation of the schemes next year with the object of removing some anomalies that exist.”
