According to the latest OECD report based on seriously outdated (2014) numbers one in four Australians over 66 lives in poverty. In comparison one in five Americans.

A right wing Catholic ex Prime Minister has just been voted out of Parliament but it is reported be paid a pension of $6000 per week which is more than fourteen times what the Australian Aged pension amounts to.
