Paul Midson has worked for about 20 years as a builder's labourer. The 48-year-old has ''crook'' knees and shoulders. He has had operations on his knees. He works at least 60 hours a week, often longer. Sad

''I reckon I will be lucky to last [in work] to 60,'' he says. Midson is fortunate. He has been employed by the same construction firm for the past 15 years in an industry where much of the work is casual and short-term. He has some superannuation but far from enough to fund a comfortable retirement.

He is relying on the age pension and is opposed to the pension age rising further. Wink

If Paul Midson has 'crook' knees and shoulders that prevent him from working then wouldn't he qualify for the Disability Support Pension (DSP). Huh

he has 20 years to change jobs that is less physically demanding - like others do. just because he finished school at 12 is the problem.

not sure if you've noticed but most people struggle to find ANY job, let alone be selective over what they do

Of course Longy will never apologise to you.

Ive known a lot of people who have lost their jobs and not one struggled to find a new one. capable, motivated people rarely do.

happy for you, the fact remains that there are about half a million more unemployed than there are jobs ... you should leave the ideology behind and step into reality every now and then

I lost my job in 2013 - then got
another one a long time later but what about the
other 40 people who applied for my job?

Where are they now?

Longy has myopic tunnel vision.

he is forgiven

Dear Longy,
I hope you have to work till you drop -

that's what Tony - your leader - wants.

work till you drop

average life expectancy is 83. current pension age is 65 soon to be 67. I don't see a problem here. neither do other people who routinely work to and past 70 because they are fit, healthy and capable of contributing. Perhaps the problem is that none of you people have jobs worthwhile doing.

neither do other people who routinely work to and past 70 because they are fit, healthy and capable of contributing.

No problem with that and the current position caters for them, the problem is for those who can not work till they are 70, many struggle to get to 65 or are forced out of employment - made redundant in their late 50's or beyond.

Believe it or not there is no employment market for the great majority of people in their 60's + in fact it is close to impossible for many once past the mid 50's.

The Govt. is quick to grab taxes while you're working -

but they don't want to know you if you lose your job -

it would mean having to give you some of your taxes back!

happy for you, the fact remains that there are about half a million more unemployed than there are jobs ... you should leave the ideology behind and step into reality every now and then

and yet it remains fundamentally true that a hard-working motivated well-educated person will not struggle to fund a job because they work hard at finding one.
