    Retirement doesn't mean that you sit around and do Nothing all day.
    It just means that you spend your days keeping busy doing what you WANT to do instead of doing what you HAVE to do

    I guess it should be essential to supply the hired equipment needed to keep industry running.

    Why is that so essential I hear you ask?

    I deliver malt barley from home to a malt house in Geelong.

    They make malt out of it for beer production

    I'd say that is one of the most essential jobs in the country ...... right?

    Anyway I will still be employed for a while, just over 3000 tonne left to move at 30 tonne a load.

    Wife is a nurse/social worker currently working in Mental Health in a large regional hospital and I am a paramedic (40 year veteran) currently on long term leave, and transitioning to retirement mid next year. So we are 50% in the thick of it and could end up 100% as they are asking for retired nurses, ambos and doctors to put their hands up for duty.

    Cheers, Mick.
