Government Pensions in Australia are getting tougher to get with the constant new rules being implemented..
Many Aussies that are about to start receiving pensions will have to live in Australia (resident status) for at least two years before or two years after qualifying to have pension portability (in other words, they can be pensioners where ever they like).. a lot of pissed off Aussies having to leave their homes and families in the R.P to qualify.
I have a feeling that similar rules could be applied in the U.K in coming years.
Nothing sacred about old age pensions anymore.
