Snake,
You go and enjoy your retirement in your heated swimming pool, on your acreage, You earned it.

I do not envy you, I applaud you. We need more migrants like you.

Ah, but if Banjo thought Snake was "black", his above reply would have been TOTALLY different. He'll lie and deny this ... he's learnt how to deny and lie from his hero Tax'Em Tony.

Hey, guys and gals,

Am I missing something here?

If retirement age is (eventually) 70, and a person will have little chance of finding (or holding) a job when they're 55 or over, then won't they become entitled to unemployment benefits if they lose their job?

And, how about if they resign their job at age 55 - how long will they have to wait before becoming entitled to unemployment benefit - which could then last all the way till they become entitled to the old age pension at 70?

Where's the error (or perhaps 'deficiency') in either of these scenarios (lose job or chuck job, at or post age 55)?

‘We kept cool in the Summer by sitting with out feet in bowls of cold water.’

Feet in bowls of cold water, huh? That’s luxury, mate!

Why … when I was growing up, we never even had FEET. We kids had to crawl on our stomachs ten miles through crocodile infested swamps to go to school and then crawl all the way back again, only to be whipped by our dad for no reason at all. And then we each had to go and plough ten paddocks and build a barn before dinner. And we never got to eat dinner because our mum never had time to cook it … what with working seven jobs and all.

And you and you wife actually had one bowl EACH? Why we only had ONE bowl to share between us ten kids, and only on Mondays, because six other families had to use the bowl too.

I know your type, mate! You think you’re entitled to have your own bowl every day of the week AND your own feet AND your own cold water! Well, it’s people like you and your lazy sense of entitlement that blew out the budget deficit AND caused the GFC AND 911.

Go and get a job!
