Epoch Times - Ageing Population More Serious Than Climate Change-Seniors

National Seniors Australia has called for an immediate $30 a week rise in the single aged pension ahead of a complete revamp of the pension system and an increase in compulsory superannuation contributions.

"The ageing crisis in Australia is a far greater crisis than climate change," National Seniors Australia chairman Everald Compton said in Adelaide.
