The Pension Assets Test to be

implemented on 1 January 2017.

So here's fair warning to all politicians of any persuasion, this

group of aged voters may be about to make the greatest impact on any Federal

election in history, ignoring them may be the start of a changed political

environment in this country.

Change the Entitlements

I absolutely agree, if a pension isn't an entitlement, neither is

theirs. They keep telling us that paying us an aged pension isn't

sustainable.

Paying politicians all the perks they get is even less sustainable!

The politicians themselves, in Canberra, brought it up, that the Age of

Entitlements is over:

The author is asking each addressee to forward this email to a

minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to

do likewise. In three days, most people in Australia will have this message.

This is one idea that really should be passed around because the rot has to

stop somewhere.

Proposals to make politicians shoulder their share of the weight now

that the Age of Entitlement is over:

1. Scrap political pensions.

Politicians can purchase their own retirement plan, just as most

other working Australians are expected to do.

2. Retired politicians (past, present & future) participate in

Centrelink.

A Politician collects a substantial salary while in office but

should receive no salary when they're out of office.

Terminated politicians under 70 can go get a job or apply for

Centrelink unemployment benefits like ordinary Australians.

Terminated politicians under 70 can negotiate with Centrelink like

the rest of the Australian people.

3. Funds already allocated to the Politicians' retirement fund be

returned immediately to Consolidated Revenue.

This money is to be used to pay down debt they created which they

expect us and our grandchildren to repay for them.

4. Politicians will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.

Politicians pay will rise by the lower of, either the CPI or 3%.

5. Politicians lose their privileged health care system and

participate in the same health care system as ordinary Australian people.

i.e. Politicians either pay for private cover from their own funds

or accept ordinary Medicare.

6. Politicians must equally abide by all laws they impose on the

Australian people.

7. All contracts with past and present Politicians men/women are

void effective 31/12/16.

The Australian people did not agree to provide perks to Politicians,

that burden was thrust upon them.

Politicians devised all these contracts to benefit themselves.

Serving in Parliament is an honour not a career.

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so our

politicians should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will

only take three or so days for most Australians to receive the message.

Don't you think it's time?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX Parliament and help bring fairness back into

this country!
