My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, I met recently with Darrel Gangell, who has now lost his part-pension and must live on just $26,000 a year from his superannuation. This is barely above the poverty line. I have also met with defined benefit superannuants who have also had their pensions slashed and are also struggling. Prime Minister, the government is doing no better with aged care, despite my repeated representations, and in particular it has gutted funding for residential care to the tune of $1.2 billion. Prime Minister, what will you do to end this ruthless campaign against older Australians?
