And yeah, people who put raising a kid, caring for their elder parents and providing for their family over their own financial gain should be punished and have to eat cat food out of garbage bins when they retire, right?


Doesn't matter, defined benefit or not.

If people paid into it their whole working life, it's theirs.

Whether they worked in a private or public company, they made plans accordingly knowing it would be there for them and the fucking cons should keep their slimy hands off.

I will not sit idly by and let a con government fuck with our pensions (or our heathcare) and I will exercise my Charter Right to free speech as long as I have it.

And any party who advocates for pension cuts, or enables that by voting with a CON govt in parliament, can go fuck themselves too.
