What are the needs of older Australians - the post-60 year olds?

I'm looking to find out what older Australians see as "their need" as we approach another federal election, I don't want to discuss the 'pros' and 'com's of any particular polotical party or candidate. I would like to hear from pensioers, self-funded retirees, those who still require to work past 'normal expected retirement age'! I would like some 'security', change without over-whelming rapid change, better recognition that older Australians, particularly those still leading active lives in the community can be 'high maintenance' Australians' in terms of medical, pharmaceutical and dental care. Please respond with your ideas - you do not need to be over 60 years of age to respond - younger people, particularly those with parents or grand parents in the 60+ age range may feel that they want to contribute their ideas and experiences! Thank you!

I would like to see more help for the self-funded retiree. We have worked all our lives and saved enough money to look after ourselves in retirement, but we do not get any help with our rates, telephone, electricity etc as we are self-funded. If we hadn't saved our money over the years, we would be on a government pension and have all the benefits that go with it.
