| Message | This is a slap in the face for poor & low-income people and forces people to work until death if they can't afford a pension. We wonder where's Green Labor's social conscience. We oppose this bill. |
| Date | 15:19:39, January 17, 2009 CET | From | LGC-Freedom Party (UPDD) | To | Debating the Pension |
| Message | The LGC is surprised that another party holds this value but we agree fully. Retirement should be a privilege not a right. What is wrong with working until death? What is right about deciding you have contributed enough to society and don't need to give anything back anymore? |
