Pensions 1 Year ago  
I approve of a rise for pensioners - I've existed on my state pension for some years now, having spent all my savings on legal costs in 2001 (not in 2018 when I was on Legal Aid).

I'm amazed you can survive on it.

The Oz aged pension is about twice the British one with lots of benefits like free auto registration and so on plus prices (apart from the ludicrous inflated housing industry) seemingly cheaper than the UK.

I get a part UK one as well but it hard;y is worth it having not paid enough National Insurance with some fly by night jobs

It seems to come to about £12K a year which covers my basic living expenses. All else is either covered by projects and ongoing work such as this for companies and backers and the generosity of friends and supporters. Other expenses will have to rely on Crowd Funding.
