Yes JBowyer, it's quite a rort.

A mate of mine was quite embarrassed by his public servants pension.

He had receives 6 promotions in the last 3 years in the tax department, as his superiors retired. He ended up quite senior for a few months.

With the way pensions are given, his pension actually exceeded his working income from just two & a half years before retirement. I gather this is quite common.

Hasbeen,
Yep, this has been going on for some years now. I just wonder if the conservative Govts are doing anything to curb that dreadful rort that was given live by the ALP. In Qld there appears to be no abating of that however, blue collar workers are being dumped by ALP cronie bureaucrats still being allowed to operate within the hive.
