Please don't be offended, this is just a question I have always wanted to ask. Any reason you didn't get yourself financially secure over the last 40 years. I don't like to see anyone struggle least of all pensioners but you have had 40 years to buy a house while they were affordable, 40 years to save/invest & a fair few years to join private health.
I assume if in 40 years I complain like many pensioners are now about lack of money I'll be laughed at.

pensioners still lose out ....

Reply to this message

the government allocate $32 extra toward pensioners in september well the thing they dont realise is now to see specialist we have to pay up to sometimes $200.00 and we are lucky to get back about $80.00 so we are out of pocket and also they allocate $5.80 pharmacuetical allowance a fortnight in pensions one script is $5.30 and some are not covered by the free list for medications so how far is another $32.00 going to give the pensioners dignity to live the pharmacuetical allowance has not altered in 3 years so we still live below the line of dignity because as soon as we get that increase out rent goes if you are public housing and still do not get the benifit of it but they have good pensions!!!!
