Dear Paul,

Isn't it heart-warming that no matter what the discussion
or the issues involved - some people can only contribute
with personal insults and attacks?

It really encourages further dialogue and conversation
doesn't it? (smile).

Foxy,

As I understand his suggestions, Paul is all for coming down hard on old-age pensioners. Sooner or later, I hope he will be one, and for a very long time, in good health. I hope that his pension-income will always be adequate for his needs.

And I hope the same for all other pensioners, including, in many decades yet, yourself. Maybe I'm from another planet (my wife used to hint at that) but I can't see any insults there. Perhaps honest criticism, yes, but personal insults ? Sorry, I can't see them.

All the best,

Joe

The Age Pension and other legitimate pensions are irrelevant to cashless cards for dunks and drug addicts, living on the dole. Age Pensioners have done their bit, and there are many of them who spent most of their working lives when there was no compulsory superannuation - me for one - and superannuation wasn't heard of.

Greenboy has always held older people and pensioners in contempt: it's a Green thing. It's a wonder that they haven't called for us to be gassed.

Reduce the nanny state? Come of it Greeny. Your lot are pushing for the nanny state all the time - rob the rich, and when they are skint, rob the poor as well, leaving your sort with all the loot, just like all totalitarian regimes.

And, you are just one of their stooges, baa baaing straight from the extreme Green manifesto. It must get very uncomfortable for you to have de Nasty's hand using you as a sock-puppet

Instead of putting the boot into Australians, as the Greens want to do - we are all too white and privileged for them - stop giving welfare, provided by Australians, including pensioners before they retired, to immigrants. If immigrants do not have a guaranteed job to come to in Australia, then they should not come here; and, not a single jobless immigrant, not naturalised, should still be in this country

Leave the old age Pension in place with the same amount for everyone ! Simply make Superannuation a voluntary contribution, not backed up from Govt coffers !

Joe,

Go back to page one and continue reading ttbn's
contributions. "Big Green Man, sour grapes,
because he isn't getting the pension. Greens hate
old people ..."and it continues.

You obviously have not had a good look, or you
agree.

In either case - I certainly don't agree with your
take that Paul's dumping on pensioners and the
Old Age Pension. He's merely making suggestions
as to how things could be improved and made
more sustainable in the future.

But hey, each to their own perspectives.

It's OK if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.
(smile).
