Business leaders, economists and seniors groups are urging Anthony Albanese to develop an ambitious blueprint aimed at encouraging older Australians to stay in the workforce for longer as a way to ease the growing tax burden on the young while the country’s population ages. The policy prescriptions include raising the pension age again, delaying when superannuation can be accessed, allowing people to work more hours without losing the aged pension, increasing training programs for older workers, and pushing for an end to age discrimination in the workforce.
One of the key messages from Treasury’s Intergenerational Report, released yesterday, is that Australia will have a dwindling pool of workers over the next 40 years as the population’s average age increases. The Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he wants to get older people working if they want to. But older workers say they face significant challenges to stay in the workforce. And advocates say it’s time to get rid of the bureaucratic redtape.
The City of Perth will be the place to be this New Year’s Eve and Australia Day 2024 thanks to a partnership with Hancock Prospecting and Roy Hill. Having played a significant role in the 2023 City of Lights series, Hancock Prospecting and Roy Hill has stepped up again thanks to the generosity and keen support of Executive Chairman, Mrs Gina Rinehart AO, partnering on two of the City’s most popular events. Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas said the free shows were wildly popular last summer and were expected to again be a hit with families and visitors alike.
With the Australian population set to age, the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) says the government needs to “remove unfair tax and red tape barriers stopping Australian pensioners, veterans, and students who want to work.” Research Fellow at the IPA Saxon Davidson told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live that Australia needs to emulate New Zealand where pensioners are not punished for working, “Leading surveys show that twenty per cent of pensioners would rejoin the workforce if these unfair barriers were removed.”

KIDNAP and ransom cover is not something most Western Australian businesses ever need to worry about. However, it provided the inspiration for Anthony Moorhouse when he developed a new kind of insurance tailored for small and medium enterprises. The policy is designed to help businesses operating in the local market deal with crisis situations. Mr Moorhouse believes his company, Biz-Assist, is the first to cover this type of risk.
“Age-old problem needs future-proofing” is missing an important component in the worker shortage debate, the harsh treatment by the Federal Government of aged Australians and other pensioners who would otherwise like to continue working.Let’s look after our own better and remove the incomes test. Allow those pensioners who would like to, including veterans, contribute to the prosperity of us all. This initiative will assist with the current housing crisis and cost-of-living issues as well. | Dean Nalder
I listened intently to them as well as to Gina Rinehart who gave her views on what governments need to do to ensure we continue to enjoy the lifestyle we have grown accustomed to. My personal view is our governments need to listen to the Rinehart has to say. We need successful business leaders and philanthropists with common sense and a love of our country more than ever to give advice to our leaders.
