    Your age pension could drop by $203 a fortnight: Major deeming rate changes hit 460,000 Australians

    Who are "they" you mentioned? NOT the government, a private business that deals in property and their head person said. Do you really think everytime a business puts out a brain fart that the government does it? Absolutely not. Too many people hear/read something and accept it as a done deal.

    Your age pension could drop by $203 a fortnight: Major deeming rate changes hit 460,000 Australians

    1 child??? You do know that the population is NOT increasing enough, that's why immigration is high. We have an aging population, in years to come we won't have enough workers to provide tax for the older population. There has never been a suggestion that there will be a restriction on child...
