It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
Increasing the Age Pension age from 2035 is hardly heroic and will do little to solve the supposed problem we face today. By 2035, life expectation will have increased by at least 5 more years compared to today so the Government's arguments hold no basis. The Age Pension is the heart of Welfare and was the first major welfare benefit in the western World. As such, it should be the last to be changed. It accounts for only 10% of Government outlays and there are many more hollow logs befor tackling this one.
The Government has completely confused itself and the public about what problems we are facing, short term vs long term, and which initiatives will address which challenges.
