Strongly agree

No

Agree

No, keep it at 67 because physically demanding blue-collar jobs destroy bodies long before age 70

The Liberal Party agrees with keeping the age at 67, though the specific 'blue-collar' rhetoric used here is more typically associated with the Labor Party and trade unions.

Disagree

Yes, but phase it in for future generations so current workers aren't blindsided right before retirement

This was the specific implementation plan proposed by the Abbott/Hockey government, but it has since been scrapped and is no longer part of the Liberal platform.

Disagree

Yes, an aging population is an unsustainable burden on the budget and medical science is helping us live longer

This reasoning reflects the party's 2014 arguments regarding fiscal sustainability, but the party has since rejected the policy of raising the age to 70 due to political and social pressures.

Strongly disagree

Yes

While the Liberal-National Coalition proposed raising the age to 70 in the 2014 Budget, the policy was highly unpopular and was officially abandoned by the party in 2018 under Scott Morrison.

Very strongly disagree

No, fund the pension by heavily taxing multinational mining corporations instead of punishing the working class

The Liberal Party is ideologically opposed to heavy taxation on the mining industry, having successfully campaigned against the Rudd/Gillard-era mining taxes.
