My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister reverse his government's current policy to force tradies, labourers and nurses—who have worked hard their whole life—to work until they are 70 in order to be able to claim the age pension?

The honourable member knows very well that the pension age was increased when his party was in government.

I rise on a point of order. As the Prime Minister is not aware: in his budget, they are increasing the age to 70. That is not something that Labor will support—ever.
