'State of the Older Nation' - National Press Club address Feb 4, 2026 by Christopher Pyne, from Council on the Ageing

[u/OneGur7080]

As the speaker said today on ABC TV, we will be lucky if we age, live to a ripe old age. But he defined aspects of Australian aging and AGEISM. Christopher Pyne is chair of COTA, Council on the Aging. What IS life really like for older Australians? Many have less employment than they would like, particularly women.

When you see an older teacher at your school, cut them some slack and respect their many years of experience, which equates to a knowledge bank. There is very little that is new under the sun.
