My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to letters now being sent to pensioners about the increase in deeming rates for seniors and retirees, which, of course, has the effect of cutting their pensions. Given that this cut, decided by his own minister, will affect over one million pensioners, does the Prime Minister stand by his guarantee to pensioners that they will not be a dollar worse off under his government? Does the Prime Minister really understand the impact of government policies on vulnerable people?
