Allowing an Aboriginal man to access his age pension sooner than a non-Indigenous man will lead to unintended changes in other areas of the law, the Commonwealth says.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures submitted to the court state Indigenous men aged 65 are expected to live for three years fewer than non-Indigenous men. Using life expectancy as a criteria would lead to an "unworkable uncertainty" where a person's eligibility would shift depending on the year or their gender and race, Firkin told the court.
It could also have a flow-on effects to other areas of law including taxation and planning, she argued.But Fisher's barrister Ron Merkel KC on Monday argued the case was about "correcting historical disadvantage".
Maybe everyone should get their suqper at 55 open up employment for younger people and the ability for people to invest and open out other opportunities for businesses and more
here we go folks the one rule for them one rule for us shitshow has started
just become a politician
Why should any indigenous person be allowed to access their super money sooner then a non-indigenous person?
Pure Racism
It's just plain discrimination.
If decisions are made on a person’s race whether good or I’ll it is a racist decision
It’s not right. They have made us work longer. Now they are giving the indigenous their pensions at a younger age. It’s disrespectful and disgusting to us that have worked hard all our lives. Why are they treated differently We all thought we were equal. All Australians?
If this gets the go ahead men should be able to access theirs before women.
Here’s an idea make the retirement age 65 for everyone!
No not right at f it’s good for one good for all wait
There is no stopping these people they want equality when it suits and special treatment when it’s suits, chances are he has contributed nothing
So as someone living in a remote area my life expectancy is shorter due to inequities/inequalities in healthcare and services therefore I should be able to access my aged pension sooner than my city counterpart?
why do we entertain this stupidity everyone should be treated the same - why do aboriginals believe they are entitled
Why ? That’s unfair to millions of others you can’t access their pensions earlier.
Woke bs
What’s the difference between Centrelink and the pension 🤷♂️
My question is has he ever put in for it
Doubt it would be a large sum
You could have the same argument for the morbidly obese or even those that identify as a fruit fly. What if the person is 1/8th aboriginal, would the pension entitlement only be shortened by 1/8th of that of a full blooded aboriginal ?
Clear discrimination, just cause the natives can access earlier and the convicts cant is creating a divide that airbus albo and dingdong chambers are trying to repair... aint they?
They are parasites. Pests we should have sterilised long ago.
Aren't indigenous peoples life spans significantly shorter though? Kind of makes sense to me. Most commenters are red faced racist old men who we are all simply waiting to cark it.
Does that mean all men will get the pension sooner than women as we have a shorter life span 🤔
Wat percentage of Aborginals make it to 65
Just wait if the Voice gets voted in. This will be nothing compared to other demands.
So much for being equal
So much for being equal.
Should have to prove beyond doubt that 100% indigenous heritage, otherwise the flood gates will open even wider!
More division, well done...
Indigenous folk are going to be the target of people's rage when they fraudulently past the voice garbage. I hope this wasn't our governments plan....let's not add logs to the fire hey! Let's keep things calm, respectful and equal for all.
