My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. Can the minister confirm that, in addition to not raising the age pension to bring urgently needed relief, the Rudd government plans to deprive 22,000 older Australians of their Commonwealth seniors health card from July next year? Why is the government intent on fleecing rather than rewarding older Australians?
