Read the story: Rowley says People's partnership lying to the people
Also read: What the manifesto said: Life begins at 60
Having said that and I make no bones about this, Dr Rowley should know better than to play politics, like Mr Hinds, on this issue.
Dr Rowley as a responsible Opposition leader how could you demand that the pension age be reduced to 60 years when you yourself alluded in the same article that the government finances at the time of the mishap were and still are very discouraging.
All over the world countries are raising their pension ages because of the stress on the public purse, you know that very well.
By all means make mas, call the Peolple’s Partnership foolish and uninformed. Call them naive and impatient, that is okay. They made their bed and they must sleep in it.
The population, if it is important to them, will tell them with their voting fingers. They will learn in due course whether this is a painful error in making such mistakes.
Please, however, do not call for the reduction of the pension age with the increased allotments knowing full well it can have a very detrimental hit on the coffers of the public purse for all citizens.
That to me is even more disingenuous than the original mistake.
Knowing that something is not good to do but goading someone to do it, in so doing potentially harming the greater number, in the name of making someone look bad, is downright selfish and irresponsible.
Dr Rowley needs to stop blowing fire and brimstone. As my father always tells me “brawn is not the answer to all problems, use your brain too.”
