    Yes, but there are many retirees who are not pensioners.

    Exempting pensioners only applied to existing pensioners, not people becoming pensioners after a set date.

    Exactly and there are a lot of them, as the ALP found out.

    A bizzare and unfair thing to assume and say.....even with no kids, people will have young relatives except in very few cases, and, most people here that may be that old I am sure would have children and grand children.


    Clearly you may have missed some things, like how it may effect many people, ones who are not the top end of town.

    I think you may be in the wrong place putting forward all this sort of stuff with a membership that largely has the ability to think and see, prob both sides pretty well.

    You would have to say, Morrison was able to put what happened to Mal in the past, I really did not hear much about what went down apart from some poor quality ads.

    After what he did with the mess re borders, clearly he is capable of taking on and executing large tasks, that was not played either, he did not talk himself up much that I saw, but did not watch any debates etc.

    Labour and Shorten really did display that they learnt something from the Rudd G Rudd mess, but at the end of the day, even the faithful were not going to swallow or cop either him or the ideas or combo of both.

    What is really disappointing to see is the number of informal votes. In the electorates I looked at, the range was 5% to 7%. According to the electoral Commission, about half of those are people who have tried to vote but who have done it incorrectly - like not all squares numbered, or numbers duplicated. A slightly different set of rules for state vs federal doesn't help. But that leaves 2.5% to 3.5% of people who have deliberately not voted - with blank ballots, comments or drawings. Compulsory voting has some impact on this

    When I was voting, one guy, after waiting for an hour, after getting his name marked off, stormed out ripping his forms up. (They had to be retrieved out of the bin because all papers are accountable).

    Waiting an hour in a line is exactly why I have postal voted for years now.
    I haven't met a State or Federal politician in the past decade that I'd entertain at home for an hour.....let alone stand in line to vote for or against.
    A sausage sizzle?
    In an hour I can cook & eat plenty of home cooked snags ( plus shove my onions on top/beneath or both without the threat of being sued for some donkey slipping on them *hello Bunnings*)
    Then still have time to mow the back lawn** after picking up the Barker's eggs.

    **Don't tell the local Greens I own a 2 stroke mower tho'.

    I reckon this from Morrison probably sums up the mood of most Australians:

    But did it...it was all grandfathered. How many people with outside of this group would it have affected. Franking credit refunds are major revenue drain and it needs to be fixed, current mob won't because they caused the issue in the First place.
