Combine getting people off the DPB with "surgical mining" techniques.
Issue one shovel and a bucket to each the nation's solo mothers.

Some good news in amongst the doom. Can-this-Brain-Eating-Zombie-get-more-fans-than-Roger-Douglas in Facebook is only a few fans away now.
I don't join that group because it's such an unsporting comparison. Can smallpox get more fans than Roger Douglas? Now that would be a race worth watching.

After observing that elderly people are treated very generously in New Zealand - something that obviously needs to be put a stop to - the first 2025 Taskforce report commissioned by our esteemed government and released last year offered the following:
Changes to New Zealand Superannuation are vital and are already well overdue. Changes would not be expected to generate material short-term fiscal savings. But over the medium-term the amounts involved are very substantial. These savings take various forms:
- Lower spending on superannuation itself.
- Higher tax revenue from increased participation of older people in the labour force.
- Modestly reduced health spending (it is well-established that if people remain active longer they also tend to keep in better health). (p. 90)Also, this is not quite the Onion article I have in mind, but close.
