‘Pensioners’ don’t necessarily have to be people getting a monetary pension. They are also people over a certain age who get other benefits like rebates or cost of living on certain items.I agree with all who stated that this was a case of greed! However, i have a question regarding the headline to this arcticle, it says " Pensioners". Just wondering if and how they actually qualified as pensioners? Surely they would have been seen to have too much in assets to access any government aid! I know we don't have that much, yet have already been told that when i turn 67 we will not recieve a penny, but perhaps the concession card.
My husband and I don’t get the monetary ‘pension’ because our combined superannuation & small bank account amount to more than the cut-off amount of $900+ for a pension. We live on our savings and are happy with what we have including our fully paid off home as well as not one single cent of debt. Everything we worked for and paid off, one thing at a time.
