Hi, just food for thought with the upcoming federal election

on todays News feeds the six retiring federal MP's due to a loophole

are going to receive $220,000 a year pension plus all there other entitlements

Bill Shorten if elected is going to change  the minimum wage to a "Living Wage"

as he said the minimum wage is to low to live on

I rang my local MP and asked what the government is going to do for pensioners and if we are going to get a raise

and he couldn't answer the question, in the end he said there is nothing for pensioners as pensioners get enough

CRAP

I would like grey nomads to start a conversation with there local MP  ask why there is nothing for us ???

with the ever raising costs off utility's i.e. power, water, shire rates, pharmaceuticals ect 

I think we need increase  in the pension

MP think we have served our purpose [ working life and payed TAX ] and are no further use to society

But unless we speak up we will get left behind

anyway enough off my whinging

Cheers Ken 

Regards Ken
