| 1281393 | 2012-06-13 07:59:00 | I think the whole thing of trusts needs a proper review as I have known quite a few over the years using one as a loop hole to get tax relief or other benefits. I suspect you won't see that happen any time soon as all the politicians have trust funds setup just incase.. |

They needed the work more than I did. If you raise the retirement age unemployment will increase for the school leavers. The government will have to increase the Dole budget. | mzee (3324) | ||

Good on you. As regards the Government, those good for nothing bunch of greedy idiots don't know (and don't bother) how to create more job opportunities. Of course, they are extremely good in creating more zeroes to their own personal bank accounts. |

| 1281399 | 2012-06-13 09:52:00 | They need a sliding retirement date so that the proportion of retirees to workers doesn't exceed a certain ratio. Note I said WORKERS - it will be no good just bringing in a load of jobless immigrants. Also, this will penalise a generation that doesn't have many kids and reward those that do. Means testing is no good - the message it sends is "Don't save any money or we'll take it off you." |

Most of the immigrants are highly qualified and experienced professionals, and of course, they can't get jobs here. We shouldn't accept more immigrants if there's not enough jobs. |

We shouldn't accept more immigrants if there's not enough jobs. Which is quite correct but how do they get residency without a job??? We have a lot of foreigners working at our workplace and they have a long road to get residency (~2 years). Without the job they wouldnt get it, so where the hell do all the others go to get residency or citizenship without a job?? |
