My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said before the last election—on nine occasions, right up to the Friday night before the election—that there would be no change to pensions. Why is the Prime Minister breaking his promise to 330,000 full and part pensioners?

There are changes Mr. Shorten;
The Federal Member for Petrie is by observation setting a new "water drinking record" and this likely emanates from the Elderly voters of communities like Redcliffe. The very ones the "LNP" coveted in 2 recent elections.
These elderly in an effort to enjoy their lives are known locally as the "water drinkers" as many of them have very fixed personal budgets as it is,and the likelihood of the "feelings of guilt" on the part of the liberals is pressuring some of their own behaviors.
