财长何基称退休年龄从2035年起将提高到70岁 （图片来源：澳洲新闻集团） 澳洲财长何基（Joe Hockey）周五宣布，1965年之后出生的澳洲人将要工作到70岁才有权利领取退休金。
澳洲的养老金领取年龄将从2035年起提高到70岁，几乎比审计委员会（Commission of Audit）建议的早了20年。
财长今日证实，政府打算延长工作年龄，称澳大利亚需要它的人们留在职场。
何基告诉2GB电台称：“将退休年龄延长至70岁，我们打算在21年后实现。”
当前领取退休金的法定年龄是65岁，到2023年将提高到67岁。
何基说：“现在可以领取退休金的人肯定不会受影响，我们必须在这次的预算案中做到长远规划。”
审计委员会昨天建议将法定年龄与人们的寿命相关联，在2053年提高到70岁。委员会还建议对收入和资产评估进行全面改革，将家庭住房包括在内，使人们更难获得全部或部分福利金，但政府不可能会将家庭住房也纳入考虑之中。
AUSTRALIA’S pension entitlement age will rise to 70 from 2035, almost 20 years earlier than the Commission of Audit recommended, Joe Hockey says.
The Treasurer today confirmed the Government intends to raise the working age, saying Australia needed people to stay in the workforce.

RETIREMENT AGE: Lucky Country? Not any more
“Increasing the pension entitlement age to 70, we are intending for that to occur in 21 years’ time,” Mr Hockey told 2GB Radio.
The qualifying age for the Age Pension is currently 65 and will rise to 67 by 2023.
“Anyone who is entitled to the pension now certainly won’t be affected. It is hugely important that we have long-term planning in this budget,” Mr Hockey said.
The Commission of Audit, released yesterday, recommended the qualifying age be linked to life expectancy and increase to 70 by 2053.
It also recommended sweeping changes to income and assets tests, including the inclusion of the family home, which would make it tougher for people to access full or part payments.
The Government is unlikely to accept the inclusion of the family home.
Bill Shorten has slammed the government for the decision, saying it is another “broken promise”.
“We don’t believe the way to get the budget doing better is by attacking the vulnerable, the poor and the sick,” he told reporters in Melbourne.
Shadow Families Minister Jenny Macklin, alongside the Opposition Leader, told reporters in Melbourne the Government should now reveal any other changes it plans to make proposed by the Commission of Audit yesterday.
“So Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey are saying to Australian pensioners that you’re going to have to work longer, no matter what the promise was they made before the election,” she said.
“Now that Joe Hockey has come out and confirmed that he is going to put up the age pension age, he should also make clear what other changes he is going to make as a result of the Commission of Audit.”
