The Government will spend $7.7 million on upgrading and enhancing the SuperGold card after years of the scheme being "neglected". But Martin said the SuperGold card system had been neglected for years and it has been getting harder for people to know how to use it. As part of the $7.7m upgrade, the SuperGold card website – which hasn't been updated for six years – would receive a revamp to make it easier to use. A new SuperGold card app will also be created. The SuperGold card was a scheme launched by NZ First leader Winston Peters in 2006.
