Just Get A Job Says Politician

Oh yes @LukeHowarthMP it is just so easy to get a job and be able to afford commercial rents. It is just so easy however to look down from the rarefied atmosphere politicians inhabit clearly without a deep understanding of what is really happening. pic.twitter.com/kqjpicYvFN

Purchase or Rent

Retirement Village operators invite you to 'purchase' but don't transfer ownership only grant right to occupy, @Centrelink calls you a homeowner, even though you do not have ownership, then they don't have to pay you rent assistance. @HelenHaines1 @stuartrobertmp #auspol @abc730 pic.twitter.com/V0pR7GjDjZ

Retirement Villages Or Residential Tenancy

Interesting comparison between the cost of living in a #retirementvillage and just renting. Extras in a retirement village like a pool, village hall etc certainly come at a high cost to retirees. @MarleneKairouz @michaelobrienmp #vicpol @acccgovau #auspol @abc730 'Lest We Forget' pic.twitter.com/X52E6VQ6B7

Retirement Village Living Cost Above Market Rents

Stark example of the cost of retirement village living above the actual market driven commercial value of residential accommodation. Retirees that enter but leave at or inside the industry average stay pay tens of thousands of dollars above the mark. @acccgovau @sdanck #auspol pic.twitter.com/gti9gFe3RJ

Function of Government

The role of government is to create an environment for commerce to function whilst at the same time protecting retirees and particularly vulnerable retirees from both financial and emotional harm emanating from that function.

The Victorian Retirement Villages Act 1986 provides the environment for commerce to function but fails to fully protect retirees from financial and emotional harm as a result of it.

The Victorian legislative definition of a retirement village in demanding the payment of an 'in-going' amount without the transfer of property ownership is a major contributor to that financial and emotional harm suffered by retirees.
