New Zealand needs to get its <deleted> together first and take care of its own citizens. In my case l paid tax in NZ for well over thirty years but because l was residing in Thailand at the time l turned 65 my application for the pension was refused. l therefore have to survive on my own and at 76 that is not easy. l was told to go back to NZ for two years and apply again. Impossible for me to do then or now. !!!!!!
