And then I go on to say, ‘Anyone who is trying to rip-off the welfare system because every benefit paid is paid by another taxpayer,’,which is indeed true. On average an Australian who works is working a whole month to pay for someone else’s benefits, that’s true.Whether those on the age pension or worked hard all their life and had a clear deal, they went through life, that if and when they worked hard they would be an age pension at the other end. Now, I think retirement incomes have changed a lot since then, I go on to make a range of comments.
