Huh. I thought our retirement age was already 67.

I don't know when it was changed but it was phased it in over time. People this year are the first that have to wait until 67.

Same here, thought it already was 67.

I think a bit of the "eh" attitude is that we have a pretty damn good superannuation system in place, which means that most people should have enough money put away without them lifting a finger to make it to 67 just fine.

lol, assuming we will have any real money in super by the time we retire... they've already started to plunder super to prop up the AirBnB market

Who has plundered it?
