A single Aus aged pensioner gets.......................$25,680 P/A (AUD) (source Centrelink)
Now compare this with Norway............................$90,000 P/A (AUD) (source OECD)
The OECD average is.....................................................$52,900 P/A (AUD) (source OECD)

And what have we here on these threads?
A mob of Multinationals' asslickers who prefer
to see the profits of our resources being pissed up
against the walls of Wall St, The City of London or the Ginza
by mobs of rip-off economic colonialists while Granny cant afford to have a tooth filled.

What are the ....................are we?

The measure of any civilisation is how it treats its young and its aged
and I'm afraid that we are not too civilised when it comes to looking after
our aged, IMO.

The above facts attest to that.

We skite about being a member of the OECD but we sneak in the back door
when it comes to Aged pensions and then try to humiliate them further
by classifying them as "welfare recipients"!

Over the past 10 years I have volunteered my services to 3 pensioners
in my Street & I can assure you all that it is a sobering/humbling /rewarding experience

The government considers 10 dollars a week is enough to cover inflation costs for aged pensioners
Lets see what politicians are awarded soon to cover inflation
It will be a lot more more than $10 a week
We allow it to happen
Who are the fools
