There’s been little protest about lifting Australians’ retirement age. But it hits some harder more others: Indigenous men and women, and the growing number of older people pushed onto JobSeeker.
You work work work to barely afford necessities like shelter and food and when you finally can enjoy your life, you’re old and still can’t afford shit. Brilliant system.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter, don’t you call me, 'cuz I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company store.
My mum has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer aged 61. I know people lose their parents much earlier, but I am furious that she worked so hard her entire life just to die before she reached retirement.

My condolences. Hugs. I hope she’s not in pain D:
