Hunni "The reality is many of the people who apply for and receive super have no need for it, while many superannuitants live hand to mouth close to the poverty line. How anyone can think that a fair system is beyond me."
it cannot be any fairer. everyone gets the same, and everyone gets it.
some people did without over their lifetime to have wriggle room in their dotage, do they not get to enjoy the benefits of that hardship (saving=doing without), as well as what theyve contributed to by way of superannuation as well?
means testing removes the reward of saving and investing, if that difference is going to be made up by the state then why bother, better to retire broke.
