I think its great idea!

We could all help in the aged care homes,

Share our walking sticks with the inmates

Take them for a burn in our mobility scooters

Discuss hip replacements and free hearing aids (if Hockey hasnt stopped that?)

Mmmm Sounds Good...Now what were we discussing again....Mmmm... Damn!...Cant remember!!

Its a Work-for-the-pension scheme. Not compulsary if you dont want the pension.

Has the government run out of money Mr Hockey?. Sad

You obviously don't listen to what Hockey says. He said quite categorically that, due to the grossly incompetent level of debt the previous government plunged this country into, extreme measures would be needed in order to avoid default.

Blame your mates KRUDD and Gillard.

I'd like to see the establishment of a work for the pension scheme.
A "gray army".

Not all retirees are robust people in their 60s. A lot of people in retirement have bodies that are too frail for any kind of work.

I see no harm in encouraging retirees to choose to do something useful, but it should be their choice. Don't force it on them. Those who want to do that sort of thing and still have their health can choose to do so, and those whose arthritis and other maladies leave them too frail for anything much should be allowed to enjoy their dotage.

But making everyone work for their pension is a crock of an idea.

Labor wants to means test earnings on Super over a certain amount and they're the Demons from Hell unleashed. Joe wants to means test asset rich pensioners and we are somehow expected to think its OK. Think I'll sign up at the local Sen Citz tomorrow......

Just because you think you want to keep on working after retirement age doesnt mean everyone should have to. Some have health problems when they get older and some just want to relax and enjoy life (which they have earned!)
