This bloke should have someone read the budget papers to him. I am happy to do that. The quote is:

The Government will achieve savings of $449.0 million over five years by indexing pension and equivalent payments and Parenting Payment Single by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

If there is no cut to the pension, where are you getting this $449 million from? If that figure is wrong, will you issue a correction?
