Meanwhile politicians get 300K pensions for life the minute they walk away from politics and straight into multi-million dollar private sector jobs.

How are you supposed to quit your job and retire before you know you will get the pension? I'm working full time and approaching retirement. I can't afford to retire from my job unless I know I would receive the pension. I would be applying whilst working full time but would stop working if I would be approved

so if i dont claim the Pension put 1 million in Super earning % paying me 5% = 50.000 a year better off than having pension and if i sold my house for 1.5 million can i gift 500.000 without penalty

what about the tax while on a pension you pay when you work peice meal, do i get all my tax back if i dont earn over 11k!

If you take out a loan say $ 35000 and gift it within the 5 year period, how is this liabilty treated. Or is a loan taken out classified as an asset.

one part i don't understand is, just say i have a $600,000 super fund sitting in cash, not balanced or growth, no stress can't lose it, getting today about 4% but the pension says they take about 3% of the 4%, of any interest is that correct, do i need to put that money at risk, to get more return to keep more
