        I think maths shows that raising the pension age is going to have to happen. Living longer in greater numbers

        what exact conflict of policies are they executing? They lower threshold for super contribution from 35K to 25K p.a , then try not to allow pension claims . Basically telling people dont save too much but when when you retire try not to claim pension. Duh policies!

        #ScottMorrison played the hardball “Keating” Treasure type and was more inclined to spend more, tax more and except more. That worked 20 years ago not now

        We have got to major parties talking either reducing are planned retirement money or extending the retirement age. All why we are borrowing money to continue paying welfare to the young. I am seeing a pattern here.
