Jeez  ... we have raised a generation of entitled..!!  and AMADD   I am NOT talking about PENSIONERS....

but their children and grandchildren.  Historically progeny have never had it so good... and still they want to gut the disadvantaged.

indeed you have.
you and your type
have been great role models for the next generation , in terms of feeling entitled.
well done [/quote]

Again we have Scooter.. who ALSO thinks he is all-knowing.., !!
this is getting to be hilarious Grin Grin


Well you see scooter.. I have a much more objective view than you do.... er  think so anyway...    have you progeny...  ??  Weren't YOU the dude who swore to buy ahouse for all his kids.. ??  and pay for all their education..?? 

Maybe not... but in any case someone much like you.. 



I don't have any progeny.. ( oh lucky world  Smiley)
... and so  I have a totally  different centre to you...  and what gets me is you think,, I presume, that YOUR ideas are better .. for kids..  is that right..??  Or is it you seek better things for old child molesters..??

Not sure WHERE you stand.

The baby boomers are a selfish bunch .

Selfish as kids.
Then they behaved the same through their main years.
Now look at them carry on as elderly.

I want, want, want.

They'll a be dead soon. Horrible generation.

Don't tell Mr Abbott that.  He wants to chain people up, and work them till they are 70.      Sad

absolutely Andrei.

I have had the pleasure to have some very stoical neighbours who survived the depression and the rationing of WW2.
one mustered for 2 days with a dislocated shoulder.
another broke his ankle and hip and rang the ambulance but then didn't want the ambos to break down his locked front door, so dragged himself down a flight of stairs to unlock it.
truly a great generation and never whinged or expected much.
the current generation of retirees make my blood curdle.
they are so soft and so interested only in their own comfort.
truly awful people , a lot of them. I don't associate with whimps, softco*ks and whineys.
ill hang out with my family and friends who are tough hard rightwards and with my kelpies and my quarterhorses.
Pensioner protest rally.
It should be "pensioners apology rally" and they should march over the harbour bridge and apologise for their awfulness

So the boomers protesting for more and more of an ever diminishing pie aren't being a little greedy.
I think the younger generations should ask the boomers to consider the eskimo solution and just wander out into the snow once you reach your use by date.

The pie is not diminishing, our GDP has increased to $1.4Trn and we have had 23 years of uninterrupted growth.

Yes and pensioners have enjoyed an indexation that is higher than CPI. an indexation no other group has enjoyed. now they are being asked to receive the SAME rate of growth as everyone else and they throw a hissy fit.

With the super rich to get more govt largesse than pensioners I suggest you direct your resentment and feelings of inferiority towards them.

I want NewStart increased and indexed like pensions to ave male earnings—indication to CPI means pensions and NS are constantly falling in terms of buying power.

I suggest you have a personal hatred arising out of some real or imagined slight because it is not pensioners soaking up most of the money paid out by the govt.

In all the OECD countries the pension here is lower than all but Korea.

The pie may be growing, but the poor's share of it is shrinking rapidly.

Wrong!

The pension is indexed to the minimum wage, as should EVERY welfare payment (aged
& DSP single parents, and the unemployed).

No-Start WAS, as was the single parent payment, until the grub Howard changed it
SPECIFICALLY to punish, penalise and disadvantage the unemployed and single parents.

ALL welfare (not wealthfare, which  should be abolished entirely) should be indexed to
wages. NO exceptions.

I'm SURE you have had a soft, marshmallow life and have rarely had to seriously exert yourself or leave your comfort zone.

You probably think dog eat dog means being first in line at a K-Mart sale.
