[BITList] Jenny Macklin on our side

[x50type at cox.net]

Ms Macklin said that around 190,000 of Britain's frozen pensioners currently receive an Australian age pension or partial pension, for which the estimated cost is roughly AUS$100 million (£70 million) a year. She pointed out that Australia would be saved that outlay if British expats received "fairly indexed" pensions from their home country. 

Is it possible that altruism is not what Ms Macklin is on about –could it be the savings to the Australian Government?
It may be that the pensioners would gain little if their pensions are “fairly indexed”.
there seems to more to this than meets the eye!
