Citing recent research that has found that just one in five members of Gen X and Gen Y expect an inheritance, the segment spoke to retirees about how they are spending their life savings.

The latest Fairfax/Nielsen poll shows Labor and Liberal even in the two-party preferred vote. Labor is up seven points in the past month, with the ALP primary vote at 39 per cent, the Coalition’s three points down to 44 per cent and the Greens down two points to nine per cent. Labor Treasurer Chris Bowen has also confirmed that the government will soon scrap the controversial carbon tax for an emissions trading scheme, with a floating price for carbon expected to come in at $14-$18 less per tonne than under the current system. The change is expected to cost several billion dollars, but PM Kevin Rudd told reporters that the change must be budget neutral.
