    "In case you don't realise it, society, in our case the Australian Government and
    the individual have a social contract; i.e.: if one works and pays one's taxes, then
    one can retire at 66 (was 65) , draw the old age pension (now modified to being
    means tested) and it is simply unfair to change this contract once the taxpayer
    has met his/her side of the bargain. If such a contract existed between individuals and one party defaulted, then the other could legally claim remedy."

    Well moorookamick what about those on the age pension who

    1.Never worked.
    2. Didn't pay enough taxes to support the freebies they now want.
    3. Paid taxes but are supporting themselves.
