  1. Someone not becoming more conservative as they get older simply demonstrates they have been a failure in life. Nimbin is chock full of 70 year old 'progressives'.

  2. No matter how governments of both persuasions spin it, the BIGGEST threat to the quality of life in Australia is an every increasing population size. If your young, its making owning your own home unachievable. If your a greenie, it results in every 'rape and pillage' of the environment. If your just 'Joe Average' in the suburbs it means ever increasing time sitting in traffic jams, and downward pressure on your wages. The only winners are property developers.

  3. Import more people to supposedly look after a aging current population. A never ending cycle, a pure total Ponzi scheme. Everyone has a responsibility to make arrangements to look after themselves, and that includes the elderly. As a 70 year old, I say any baby-boomer who needs to bludge of the efforts of younger generations tyring to make their own way in life is nothing more than a parasite. If they have nothing after a life that included several mining booms, mostly full employment, several housing booms, and free education..... tough!

  4. Managers simply do not want older and possible more experienced people reporting to them. It's all about control.
