So the fact that "...the efficient welfare state seemingly overlooked older Australians, ... About half of Australian singles over 65 were living in poverty, the third highest in the OECD." doesn't matter?

PS: the other points are good though :)

do I look over 65 to you? I didn't say EVERYONE is lucky to live in Australia... just that "I" was :)

well one day we'll be 65, and then we won't be so lucky :) we did demographics over the last 100 years in one of my classes today - fascinating stuff. If Germany is developing in the same way as it is now, there won't be any Germans in 2500... many other european nations, too...
