Killing Africans will also solve a lot of problems.

Yeh so they naturally choose to live in squallor on an abissmal government pension.

Makes sense.
Yes, every single person lives on the pension lives in squalor.

As I said, they made that choice for that style of life when they didn't save for their retirement (i.e. enough income for the bare basics).

Nobody's fault bar their own.

HIV and their oooga booga religions are taking care of that for us, oh and Islam is too, the scum menace of Islam is a scourge in Africa. Oh but it's a religion of peace

Our generation are the ones who are going to get fucked. We'll be paying sky high tax rates to pay for all the aged pensioners and yet will receive piss poor government services because all the money will be going to the old folk. The worst of all worlds.

The bogans in macquarie fields and so on who think they are going to live off the dole, single parent and/or disability pension their whole lives better wise up because they will be they will be the first things that get cut in the next 10 years or so. I think if you are under 65 you'll be pretty much on your own with regards to housing as well.

Financial squalor, yes.

They can hardly go flushing money down the toilet.
Neither can most people.

Do they live in "financial squalor" too?

Yeh i know. They chose to live the remainder of their life severely financially restricted. Seems enticing.
lol. "Financial restricted", oh how my heart weeps.

If they don't want to be "financially restricted" there are a few options: 1. Go back to work. 2. Kill themselves or 3. Build a Time machine and instruct themselves to put money away for their retirement.

Forgot that lefties really hate personal responsibility since you've been away.

Couldn't we just cut the baby bonus you crazy bitch?

In all seriousness, if society was faced with a real survival situation, I would probably advocate culling the elderly.

thank you for pointing out the obvious.

couldn't we just cut the pension. no because they will be a greater liability without money.

I think we should wait for the review of all pension schemes but it should be done in as timely a manner as possible. That's not to say the one off quick payments have no appeal, but without a proper review who gets to decide who receives such payments?

The Aged Pension is a joke.

There are a ridiculous number of loopholes to exploit the system legally. Gone is common sense and logic, and here is a processing system of ticking the boxes.

If it was indexed and you got the concessions old people get, not only could you live on it, but you could live more comfortably than most of the world's population.

Go on then. Live on $13,000 a year - unsupported by anybody else. CPI the pension rate ur self and then compare yourself to starving Africans for a bit of solice.
$250/week + free housing... Do you really think it'd be THAT hard?

... I don't want to and I support moves to give pensioners more money because I feel they should have a better standard of living but I think the idea that you 'can't live on the single aged pension' is sensationalism.

If the pension needs to be raised to a level where I'd find it desirable then we've got a problem. This whole idea that we should legislate what we'd want for ourselves is silly, we don't have the resources to do that.
