“...people who’ve paid into the pension system for 45 years to retire at 63 without taking a financial hit....”

That’s probably a good thing since it will include folks who have been working & contributing every year since age 18 but exclude those who stayed in school until age 30 on the taxpayers’ dime.
I thought it was a good idea too, actually rewarding good performance.
Contributing since age 18? How about since age 15 and many since age 14 when they entered a Apprentice ship to learn certain occupations. They still had to go to a occupational school until age 18, but only once a week.
