" Adelaide-based financial planner Bill Antoniou said he didn’t think the system was fair. “If someone has money in the bank, predominantly, or money in superannuation, and they have around $1.1m, well then they can qualify for a part-pension. But if you have a $1.1m house, you can get a full pension. So is that fair?
“It is probably not fair. I could quite easily advise someone to go buy a place on the esplanade for $1m with your money in your bank account and you’ll qualify for the full pension. It all can depend how you work the system.”
