So if this is the case why not ask their home government for help instead of exploiting the Aus government to whom they do not pay any taxes? Take take and no give. Selfish.Or, if you qualify for an Australian pension, one can live quite comfortably in many parts of the world. Some may not even call Australia "home".
Personally I do not think you should be eligible for a pension if living overseas. I know many hard working Australians who pay tax their whole life and get no government handouts, why are we supporting people who don't even live here or contribute in anyway to Australian society? Its a rort that should be closed.
