Old Age Pension System Probed by Treasury Statistics

Treasury issued returns show 79 208 old age pensioners in Australia with an annual liability around £1 058 696. Tasmanian pensioners per 1000 people lead, followed by New South Wales and Victoria, while Western Australia remains low. Invalid pensioners total £293 138 yearly, at about £25 7s per year. The growth rate appears slow, with projections suggesting expansion as younger states age, and a national liability rising toward £2.9 million annually.
