Since Saturday, Australians have been required to wait until the age of 67 until they can get the age pension. It has happened with little protest — a stark contrast to the demonstrations and riots that have rocked France, writes Peter Whiteford.

    Same here, thought it already was 67.

    I think a bit of the “eh” attitude is that we have a pretty damn good superannuation system in place, which means that most people should have enough money put away without them lifting a finger to make it to 67 just fine.

      lol, assuming we will have any real money in super by the time we retire… they’ve already started to plunder super to prop up the AirBnB market
