Wow, And there I thought it was governments of the other persuasion doing the dirty on poor old pensioners. But I agree BCC, instead of raising the pension age like those damn socialists want , we should raise taxes , especially on ''self funded retirees ". Oh , that cant be right! Perhaps stop all those illegals , decrease government services [ oh , that cant be right , old people would miss out] . I know , make pollies work for a living.
