The government funded pension age of 65 is far more than enough. It should be even less than that. A pension age of 70 years old is absolutely ridiculous. Thank goodness it did not go to that. Which is what the coalition rat bags, were seriously wanting to do at one stage. A very good reason to vote Australian Greens. At least they want to keep the government funded pension, at 65 years of age. Sad

What many fail to realise is that while these pen pushers working in air conditioned offices are advocating retirement age to be older than 65, are not looking at the real workers in the blue collar/overalls industry… physical workers… that are on their feet all day.
Just a few… mechanics, farmers, road workers etc

As for the taxes paid in one’s lifetime… part of that tax was for retirement pension!
They raised the tax by 17% around war time to be the contributing factor for age pension… so yes.. people have paid for their rights to pension.
But alas after the war… government changes… that section got put into consolidated revenue and wasn’t kept in its own category for pension and soon forgotten about.

I’m not impressed.
