My question is to the Prime Minister. Before the election, the Prime Minister promised Australians: no change to pensions. But the Prime Minister has since cut the indexation of pensions and will force Australians to work until 70 years of age—the oldest retirement age in the world. Why did the Prime Minister yesterday make the bizarre claim that there are no broken promises in his rotten budget?
