| Message | We reject this anti-economics bill as yet another burden to the hard working and ordinary tax payers of Al'Badara - no doubt you will have to raise taxes to meet such massive spending commitments. We the ALP also reject your ageist response to the retirement age as you throw out fit, healthy and willing workers with lots of experience out of jobs simply because they are too old. |

| Message | Retirees are quite welcome to work beyond the retirement age. The point is that they shouldn't have to. |

| Message | The incompetence of JDF is simply outstanding. It barely understands the bills its putting forward. This bill would not ennact a voluntary change, but the mandatory age at which corporations can throw people out onto the street. |
