| Message | Most coutnries today are thinking about increasing their retirement age to 70 and ours is currently at 60. Adult at 16? So its ok for 16 year olds to go to prison, drink, smoke, gamble, buy houses, set up businesses? It's nonsence. 16 year olds are children, not adults. |

| Message | And yet, two years later, a person magically becomes an adult? It's all arbitrary anyway. The ULP abstains. |

| Message | we are fine with it because it would be foolish to make such a drastic change 100s of years after it was established. |

| Message | The retirement age of "65" was made in Bismarks time. I don't know any country where you're an adult at 16. "we are fine with it because it would be foolish to make such a drastic change 100s of years after it was established." Rediculous, you could say the same for every single bill that gets proposed. Rubbish, absolute rubbish excuse, bordering on plain stupid. You call yourself a "modern" party, you should change that to "ancient" |

| Message | "16 year olds are children, not adults." - Really? What happens when they reach 18? What sudden change between 16 and 18 takes place that allows you to make that distinction. What about 17? What about someone who is 17 and whose birthday is the next day? Are they only an adult when they wake up in the morning? Clown Shoes. |
