There is something wrong with your figures when you say age pensioners cost the government a million bucks. Most elderly pensioners spend around twenty years in retirement and say we use the higher single rate of around $900 a fortnight that's about $25,000 a year. So over twenty years they would be paid half a million.
The other thing is that they might have lived in their house for several decades and want their surroundings to remain familiar.

You are lucky to reach 85. Lots of people dropping dead in their seventies, or earlier.
