Yes i agree $4 how the hell do ill that b benefit us. Its ridiculous an insult. Eeve worked all our lives and this is what we get!!!! We live under the poverty line and struggle every week to make ends meet. Why dont you try living as one of us for a few months. I dont you would even try and would not survive. How about treating us with a bit of a respect so we can hold our heads up and for once feel good about ourselves. Think about it. How would you feel. Increase the pension to a living amount for all of us and stop helping the rich.

Why does the govt even consider helping by buying a failing airline losing millions each week and don't support pensioners.. I bought a cheaper home after selling my home and have just over $51,000 And the house needs a lot of repairs and I have no super...so does the Govt want to reduce my pension even though I have never claimed a rental assistance or a carer and why would I work to make money and then lose more pension.
