This government will keep increasing retirement age to finally receive the pension while the pollies keep increasing their pension. Eventually we're going to die waiting..

When will I qualify if I was born in 1958 making my age 63 and a quarter?

So what happens after 2023. Especially as the Governments of recent times have allowed so many on unemployment benefits as a way of life. There will be fewer taxpayer as time goes by.

They want you work till you get to 70 retire on Friday and die over the weekend so you don't get a chance of getting the pension at all

They kept moving the goalpost for me.....& others. Doing it all the time. Seems they waiting for more of us to die so not have to pay a pension 😡

Wow 😮 I am no where near retiring age but this is outrageous. I feel this is so degrading to our elderly community. Covid and now this. A govt needs a good shake up

This is so they can put you on Newstart if you lose your job. It pays much less than the Pension.

I turn 65 in August. Now I can’t apply for the age pension until 2023. That’s just great.

Maybe pollies should pay the older generation for votes

Decided by public servants and politicians who’ve never done a hard days physical work in their life!!

This has been like this for at least 3 maybe more years it's nothing new

Work till you drop so Government don’t have to pay pension.

What a farce, I am eligible today but on July 1 I am not! Pollies get a Pension regardless of age, the only rule is just how long they shined their pants on the back bench!

Instead of putting the pension age up , why don’t you get the young dole bludgers to start working instead of surfing and gaming . Let us retire before we are burnt out ......

The government is sneakily and slowly putting it up to 70 .

To Laura Rech and all the other people who don't know anything about history let me educate you a little. After the War the government setup a fund for the workers to save for theirselves for retirement age pension we worked and paid taxes and part of the tax that we payed was to pay for our retirement so we were saving for old age and the government had access to this money so we could help build this country and we were proud to work and contribute our small amount to this fund but over the years this account amassed 100 of thousands of pounds and the government cannot help them selves they took the money and then they had all future payments directly put into General Revenue to hide the theft. So yes we were saving for old age as it was called the pension fund but we got ripped off. So don't tell us old age pensioners that we should have saved we did. And have been getting ripped off for our whole lives and now again they move the goal post.

So really they basically want us to work till we drop while they retire early on their massive pensions and their perks.

Damn shame. Why not let people retire at 60 like it used to be. Surely that would give more work opportunities to the younger generation.

The governments plan to achieve savings is for attrition by death 😡

Absolute greedy grubs, well then the same goes for politicians or maybe we better protest in front of parliament house

That’s why Paul Keating introduced compulsory superannuation in the 1990s knowing there would not be enough money for an age pension for everyone.

Hopefully soon, most people will have their super to retire on for a few years before they need the pension. You can still access super at 60.

Then the next thing will be this government putting us all on the Cashless Welfare Card….get ready we need to fight this.

Keep stretching it out and hopefully pollies will get their wish that we die before reaching that age.....more money in the troughs for the pigs then!😡

Well people elected scumo so reap the hard times, if he gets back again it will get worse and will include the indue card and more cuts to Medicare
