Joe encounters a trenchcoated citizen and a punk (ZX Spectrum) Joe Blade 2 took a rather different approach to the first game. Instead of being a soldier, Blade was this time a vigilante taking to the city to rid the streets of criminals, rescuing old-age pensioners along the way. Blade was no longer armed with a gun, and had to jump over villains, just touching them with his feet, to dispatch them. This almost surreal take on the game was in stark contrast to the comparatively more gritty realism of the first installment.

It was at some point in the early 1950s when Byrne first dabbled with making paintings of his sketches.

Another method being examined is to make carbon a new currency by introducing tradeable "personal carbon credits". The idea being it will encourage and motivate individuals to reduce their 'carbon footprint' by the way they live. Each citizen will receive a free annual quota of carbon that they can use to travel, buy food, and go about their business. It has been suggested that by using this concept it could actually solve two problems; pollution and poverty, old age pensioners will actually be better off because they fly less often, so they can cash in their quota at the end of the year to pay heating bills and so forth.

During a hearing concerning the oversale of bonds invested in the Orpheum, Strand and Parkway theaters, Desormeaux proposed to manage those houses plus the Majestic to pay off the bondholders, but nothing came of his plan. As World War II began, Desormeaux strengthened the Majestic's ties to the community through charitable actions such as offering free passes to old age pensioners and donating a day's box office receipts to the USO. In 1942, he helped manage the local collection of scrap metal for the war effort, contributing several steam radiators from the theater. He also opened the theater early mornings to accommodate third-shift defense workers.

The Grove Street Pensioners' Cottages were built by Cairns City Council from 1953 to as part of a scheme subsidised by the Queensland Government for providing affordable accommodation for old age pensioners. Located on a reserve in Grove Street in the Cairns suburb of Parramatta Park, the complex comprises eight small timber cottages arranged in a curved layout surrounded by lawns and gardens. They were the first of their type to be built in Cairns and are an important surviving example of a largely intact pensioners' cottages scheme. The city of Cairns in tropical far north Queensland was established in 1876 as a port to service the newly discovered Hodgkinson goldfields, and its first local authority, the Cairns Divisional Board, was established in 1879.

The statement that there is no money to give > these unfortunate people a further increase will be regarded by decent > Christian people as a downright lie. I am still convinced that, with any > kind of honest effort, the lot of the poorer sections of our people could be > improved. The unemployed and the old age pensioners will continue to press > for elementary Christian justice. I have asked, and I now repeat my request, > for a free vote of the House on this issue.

As of April 2013, Council Tax Benefit is replaced with a new system of Council Tax Reduction schemes. Prior to this change, councils (local authorities) provided Council Tax Benefit to certain individuals who were otherwise unable to pay meet the cost of Council Tax, due to unemployment or certain other circumstances, using nationally set rules; the funding for this was provided by central government. Under the reformed system, councils are required to design their own local Council Tax Reduction schemes, under which council tax bills will be reduced for certain categories of people, instead of paying out a virtual benefit to cover the cost of a standard bill. Schemes must be based on a claimant's income, or their status as the only adult in the property, and old-age pensioners must continue to receive at least the same reduction to their net council tax bill as they would have done under the Council Tax Benefit system.
