IIRC you are not Australian. If you want to troll, do it somewhere else. This thread is for Australians only.

Yeah right!  Same as US political threads are for Americans only.

 

When you practice what you preach, so will I.

It is not entitlement, it is welfare. The motive to go away from the current system usually 99% is lack of money.

The age pension is both entitlement and welfare. Any Australian who meets the age and financial criteria is entitled to it.

 

The current situation is a self-inflicted wound. Before, during and after the GFC, hundreds of thousands of Australians lost their life savings to thieves, mainly due to the abject incompetence of ASIC. They were then forced to apply for part or full pensions to make up the shortfall.

 

I guess victim blaming is popular among people who don't like the concept of welfare for those less fortunate.

 

When Joe Hockey said the age of entitlement is over, he certainly was not talking about the tax breaks he was giving to the wealthy. Or himself, the fat turd.

 

BTW, what's your BMI?

My BMI is good enough.... thanks for worrying. I travel mainly as a long distance bikepacker or kayaker, that has put me on top of the cardiovascular health for my age.

Your in good physical shape, then. Perhaps I should worry more about your mental health.
