More cost of living support for Australia?s pensioners | The Hon Jenny Macklin MP

The Gillard Government is delivering around 3.5 million Australian pensioners a boost to their household budgets this month with an increase in the pension and the start of the new Clean Energy Supplement. This means every single pensioner in Australia would lose more than $350 a year and every pensioner couple would lose more than $530 a year under an Abbott Government. Labor's pension reforms mean payments are increased twice a year to keep pace with the cost of living.
