Totally agree with you Angel. Our service men and women deserve everything they get.

No, it means that currently most people qualify for a part pension. Current retirees have not had years of super contributions that future generations will have. I wont be old enough for a pension for 25-30 years - I'm guessing qualifying will be much harder by then.

My son worked at pizza hut for about 3 years before quitting earlier this year. He's only been a lazy bum for about 6 months. I haven't been funding him other than some petrol in the car (he gives me a lift to work) and paying for his phone (the plan ran out last week and is about to be...

I know. There are some great temp jobs in the public service that pay very well too. It's very easy to get a job here, if you want to.
