Tell those pensioners who find out after they privately invest their money that they have under "SCAM" concerning their pension. Where they find they have lose up to 40% of pension. At the same time they will still receive the full pension if they money is handled by their family. Both ways( investing) have the same meanings, except one will find themselves every fortnight with less pension while they're receive a full pension. Maybe a Queen Bannister should review this system while your neighbour receive full pension and you only less.

If you gave money to your family prior to being eligible to age pension it would be exempt under the gifting rules.
