Paul1405,
It'll be Superannuation that will decline !

Well now we know why so much bile for pensioners from Paul. Some oldy, assumed pensioner by our know it all, was using his favorite poky down at the GWR Club. Spend a lot of time down there do you Paul? Always assume those playing the pokeys are pensioners do we?

Wrong again, those cashed up oldies are ex public servants living it up on the taxpayer, way beyond what any pensioner can. Perhaps if you asked before leaping to your greenie conclusions, you would not make such a fool of your self, quite so often.

Hassy, don't play pokies, in fact don't gamble what so ever, not even a raffle ticket. A second rate non productive public servant yourself, were you not? Hit a nerve with the "pensioner pokies" I see.

Paul1405,

Hasbeen is a veteran so he will be on an ex-serviceman's pension. He was a fighter pilot on an aircraft carrier at the Battle of Coral Sea.

He has been tied up with poker machines because he is an engineer and he would probably have had a job 'fixing' them.

Paul1405 & mr Opinion,
It should come easier to lead a sensible debate than to have to desperately grasp at straws of ridicule.
Try it, you might surprise yourselves ! I'd certainly be better than your constant Thread-derailing attempts.

Indy, I tell you aged pensions are unsustainable in the long term. They are inequitable, with some elite pensioners living a better than average standard of living, with material possessions worth literally millions, while other pensioners are living on the bread line. A third group are excluded altogether, due to being ineligible under the means test.

The government has already taken steps to cut the pension by increasing the age threshold to 67, and that can only increase. You say; "It'll be Superannuation that will decline", if that be the case then with the exponential growth in expenditure required to maintain aged pensions at present levels something will have to give. What I suspect is the assets and incomes tests will be tightened to reduce the cost of pensions to government.
