I wish this particular benefit was better targetted. So those with genuine need could access it earlier, and those with absolutely no need weren't eligible at all...
so people who have worked hard all their lives, paid lots of tax, contributing to other peoples superannuation shouldnt be allowed to receive it themselves?
how about people who have spent their lives not working lying in bed all day collecting the dole i suppose in your world they should get extra?
Super is not a pension. We do not pay into it. We pay taxes that are broadly assigned. Super is a benefit, just like the dole. Superannuitants are beneficiaries, and this one is extremely grateful for that privilege.
Btw. lots of people pay lots of tax over the years, and never get to receive super. You think they should get a refund?
