Hi, I'm writing a paper on aging in Australia. I'm a college student in the U.S. I would like to know your oppinion on issues like: retirement, working seniors, health care, pensions, retirement life (activities), housing, cultural aspects, ageism, treatment of elderly in society, social roles, government programs for seniors, (anything else I missed??) ..etc.There are no right or wrong answers, and you don't have to comment on ALL of the above topics if you wish. Also, please tell me about your personal experiences and/or compared to your parents experiences with aging in Australia. Thanks very much for your insight!!! i appreciate it

Just in case you do not hear from any Aussies.I have family over there.Seniors can get very cheap fares on buses and trains.Health care depends on what you earn, under a certain amount then you get help on meds.I believe it is the same with pensions (social security) too
