Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister and refers to his previous answer about pensions. Today in the Senate the Minister for Finance has admitted that the government is reducing government payments including payments to pensioners. Now that the Prime Minister's claims he has increased pensions have been exposed as wrong by his own Minister for Finance, who said the government is reducing payments to pensioners, will the Prime Minister explain why he believes these confirmed cuts are fair?
