Wu Hán, Lotus Party, Reads Message from Seniors to National Conference
TIAN'AN, HAN - JUNE 4, 4254



On June 1st, the Government sent its Retirement Age Act (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=533360) to vote in the National Conference, which seeks to extend the retirement age from 65 to 70. Immediately, this bill was met by opposition from Seniors' interest groups, including the Indrala Seniors' Association, which issued a press release yesterday which read:

The Government, time and time again, has proven that they have no respect for the Seniors of Indrala, the honorable and venerable generation which built this nation that they now have the honour of ruling over. Many seniors across the nation have elected to pay into the state pension system for their entire working lives, and now the government intends to yank out those hard earned benefits from under their feet. Thousands of seniors who simply cannot work past 65 will be pushed into poverty. This Bill proposed by the government is immoral and ignores the value of Jienist philosophy of filial piety that this nation was built on.

Wu Hán, leader of the Lotus Party, and the five-seat official opposition read this statement to the National Conference today, and added:

In two short months, the Republic's Conservatives have managed to perpetrate an injustice on both our nation's young and the nation's elders. Who is it that the government is helping with its legislative agenda?

The Lotus Party has voted against the legislation. The National Democrats and the Nationalist Party have not yet responded.
