The rise in the pension age is interesting, but that does not even begin until 2017 and takes full effect in 2023 when Mr Rudd will be 67 and will have safely attained his pension age prior to the measure catching him! [Helen Coonan at the CPA Budget Breakfast on 13 May 2009]
I wonder who will tell the seriously silly Ms. Coonan that, leaving aside the staggered introduction of the new retirement age (which sees the age go up in six monthly increments), Kevin Rudd will only be 66 years of age in 2023, having been born in September 1957.

But the silliest thing is that no-one will slam this mean and unnecessary policy!
