Kaye Fallick wrote “Busting myths about baby boomer burdens” published by the Age in January.
Kaye claimed that the government was only focused on what older Australian take in the form of welfare, not on what they give back to society. The article focused on her own mother’s contributions as an example of the hundreds of thousands of older Australians who contribute far more than they have ever received in social service pensions and suggested “we speak up to protect the meagre pension entitlements they so richly deserve.”
Matt Davidson’s cartoon (below) was a good interpretation of the article.
