  "textContent": "🔴 VIP EARLY ACCESS\n\nRapid Intelligence Briefing (11 May 2026)\n\n* * *\n\n### **EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**\n\nPrime Minister Christopher Luxon has confirmed National will campaign on lifting the superannuation eligibility age at the 2026 election, branding the current trajectory “unworkable and unaffordable”. Treasury forecasts show costs doubling to $30 billion by decade’s end. The move gifts NZ First and Winston Peters a potent wedge issue to split from National and a powerful stick to beat National with and brand themselves as the only party protecting the elderly.\n\n* * *\n\n### **WHAT HAPPENED**\n\nLuxon told Kerre Woodham on Newstalk ZB that National would run on raising the age “as soon as we get back in”. No specific new age or timeline was given, though past National thinking pointed to a gradual lift to 67. The announcement revives a long-dormant third rail of New Zealand politics, just months before the election.\n\n* * *\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
