Joe Hockey to force generations X and Y to work until 70
Australians born after 1965 will have to work until they are 70 before they are eligible for the age pension under changes announced by Joe Hockey, while the Treasurer has also warned there is "no such thing" as a free visit to a doctor or free welfare.
On Friday, Mr Hockey said nobody currently on the pension would be hit by the rise in the pension age in the federal budget but the change could struggle to pass through the Senate as Labor families spokeswoman Jenny Macklin accused Prime Minister Tony Abbott of breaking a pre-election promise not to touch pensions.
Tony Abbott backs out of trip to meet Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has scrapped plans to make a flying visit to Bali to meet Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono next Tuesday.
The meeting would have been the first between the pair since revelations last year that Australia had spied on Mr Yudhoyono, his wife and senior members of the government.
Mr Abbott had not formally confirmed plans to make the visit but Fairfax Media understands the Prime Minister was due to fly out on Monday and return late on Tuesday in a trip that would have gone some way towards taking the bilateral relationship out of the deep freeze.
