    These changes are eminently sensible. A shame the government isn't being credited with fair fiscal discipline for once.https://twitter.com/9NewsAUS/status/815077124142837761 …

        it's a shame they are also not making changes that would increase revenue. More palatable when pain is shared.

        @9NewsAUS Agree. Pension is supposed to be a safety net not a God-given right.

        theft by government is always excused by nihilist commentators

        "theft" when it's legal, & only reducing a level of government payment, not appropriating private assets? @BernardKeane

        it is theft when an agreement is made and one party uses force to renege on it once they have obtained benefits

        There is no 'agreement' per se. Just benefits advanced by a Govt to citizens. Nor is there 'force' in change.@BernardKeane

        "benefits" were laws that were rescinded after commitments were made. Maybe "benefits" to wind shd be removed

        Any law can be changed. Benefits are not automatically perpetual. Wealthy seniors are not martyrs. @BernardKeane

        And raising 'wind' is an irrelevancy to this subject. @BernardKeane
