The golden number of 65 has long been the milestone to get our pension.
However, with people living longer and financial situations varying widely some are questioning whether that’s still the fairest approach.

This storm has the potential to be a significant and damaging event. We know this will be unwelcome news for communities that have recently been affected by severe weather and are still recovering.
More rain falling on ground that’s already saturated, means impacts like fallen trees, landslides, flooding and dangerous river conditions are more likely.
Please stay safe in severe weather. If life, health or property is in danger, call 111 immediately.
During a storm, stay inside. Don't walk around outside. Don't drive unless necessary. Strong winds can fell trees and poles, tear off roofs, and cause branches and debris to fly at high speed.
Put safety first. Don’t take any chances. Act quickly if you see rising water. Floods and flash floods can happen quickly. If you see rising water, do not wait for official warnings. Head for higher ground and stay away from floodwater.
Do not try to walk, play, swim, or drive in floodwater.
If you see a landslide, move out of its path and stay away from it. It is important to recognise the warning signs and act quickly.
When it is safe to do so, check on your neighbours and anyone who might need your help.

ANZ shared that they may contact you to check a transaction but they will never ask for access to your device, security codes, or to move your money.
