Heard that before :/

Considering my line of work, I had a good chuckle when I saw the following in a news article.  Lets just say I've heard that before....many times (the bit underlined)


Q I am 58 and my wife is 48. If she continues to work once I retire, Centrelink takes this into account when assessing my pension. If she earns $45,000, my pension would be around $140 a fortnight. As I have paid taxes all my life should I not be entitled to a full pension when I retire? Is there any way of getting the full pension even though my wife will still be working, or should she move to part-time work?

Dude....if you ever get on the AGE pension, remember to report you wife's income.  Cos I've really heard the "I've paid taxes all my life" line too many times.
