Labour Party leader Andrew Little has dismissed the government's policy to raise the superannuation eligibility age by two years from 2037 yesterday as being, "totally political".

"It looks like a ham-fisted, completely botched attempt to deal with the superannuation issue," he said. "It's very clumsy."

Little told Rachel Smalley this morning that Labour is still committed to keeping the superannuation age the same - a historic reversal compared to other Labour leaders.

"The good thing is that it has been endorsed from the party and it is the party policy, and for very good reason - it comes from my own personal experience and no doubt the experience of other Labour Party people," he said.
