(But how many pensioners actually manage with the pension as their only income?) Of course if they have any other income they will be assumed to be immensely rich so they will have to pay lots of tax on their life savings interest or any meagre earnings! |

| 861645 | 2010-02-26 05:04:00 | I am not a maths wizard so this might be wrong but if my pension is $300/week of which I spend every cent of that . . . Screw the pensioners You know of a pensioner who receives $300 per week?:lol:Incredible!! How does he manage to wrestle that much out of the government?:groan: Most pensioners only receive $460 per fortnight, so at an annual rate of $11960 I don't think that a pensioner's income is a very good example. Government pensions most certainly do not exceed $14500 per annum. |

| 861648 | 2010-02-26 05:40:00 | I am working on the theory and hope I will get a massive heart attack and die early so I dont have to be old and live on a pension. | prefect (6291) | ||

| 861650 | 2010-02-26 08:09:00 | But the free rides will go up more than 2% ;) And when you get antiquated, there are more fearsome demons than WINZ. Old and irreplaceable bits keep breaking. |

| 861651 | 2010-02-26 09:08:00 | Whatever it is, the lower income group will be (or is always) the loser. Never ever trust the bl*&^%$ politicians! Most (if not all) of the politicians are from rich families, they don't know what hardship is. They were born with the golden (or silver) spoons. And yet they are still so GREEDY. | bk T (215) | ||
