In a change of approach to the Turnbull and Abbott government’s, this week the Prime Minister, the Hon Scott Morrison MP, announced plans to abandon a policy to increase the pension age from 67 to 70.
The Prime Minister stated “I don’t think we need that measure any longer when it comes to raising the pension age…And next week, cabinet will be ratifying a decision to reverse taking the [pension] age to 70. It will remain at 67.”
The Leader of the Opposition, the Hon Bill Shorten MP, used the policy change to question the Prime Minister’s principles stating: “But the real issue is if he was three years as Treasurer and believed that we should increase the retirement age to 70, and in the last 13 days he’s been Prime Minister and now he doesn’t believe it?—what does Scott Morrison really believe?”
