sounds like a plan our new government has brought in the following a payment of $7 when you go to the doctors, you work for at least 6 months before you can get the dole, no dole till you are unemployed for 6 months, if you take a causal job for 6 weeks say picking fruit then you cant get the dole for another 6 mths after the jobs ends, retiring age up to 60, cant get superannuation till 65. and lots more, the harshest budget in history and more pain to come, makes maggie thatcher look like a left wing socialist
Except that under Margaret Thatcher retirement age was 60 for women, 65 for men, though that changed a few years ago. You've had it easy up till now if it was lower before.
