Super Gold Card

Published: Wed 29 Aug 2007 01:45 PM
Grey Power National President, Mr Graham Stairmand announced today that Grey Power are pleased to attend and support the launch of the Super Gold Card.
"We appreciate the amount of effort that has been made to bring the project to its present form and in that regard thank the team at the Ministry of Social Development for the effort that they have made to make the launch a success.
While the present document is relatively small, we are confident that the benefits available to the elderly will substantially increase over time as the large market available becomes more evident to those willing to grant concessions. Once again, the concessions to the elderly have come through the efforts of a minor party. We know this is just a start and Grey Power is optimistic that the Power, Phone and Travel Companies will all come on board as, along with Health, these are the main crippling expenses felt by superannuitants."
