Visible Plight of Pensioners

When I originally saw this photo I assumed a lady of roughly my vintage was experiencing a common-or-garden hot flush, a power surge, as I like to call it.

But no, she was a one of a gang of protesting pensioners who marched on the buildings of Parliament just over a week ago. Determined to be heard - or at the very least seen.

Many of them threw caution, and their cardigans, to the winds.

These scantily-clad seniors braved the autumn weather to protest against the federal budget, which offers them little despite a 21.7 billion dollar (20 billion US) surplus.

Can you spare a dime for an old dame?
