Hi Gary, You would be classed as half a couple. 

Get a divorce and just share the living expenses together 

the system is fucked 

With Bill Shorten under attack for his policies - why on earth doesnt anyone within other parties Liberals being first say something about how they cut the age pension for couples in 2009?

It was 167% of the single pension paid to a couple and in 2009 when Labor quietly cut it down to 150% meaning in fact,  one single pension and one half of a single pension,  paid to a couple.

Excuse always being 2 can live cheaper than 1.

Falacy. This applies only to the cost of the roof over their heads.

Two eat twice as much food and consume twice more of just about everything else.

It all goes back to when pensions started and women left work and never worked again once married.

Buit today women work and pay income taxes and if they have - surely they are entitled to get the full single age pension.

We should have Universal Pension like NZ and some other Western Countries.
