My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services, Senator Fierravanti-Wells. Minister, can you confirm that it remains government policy to make pensioners who were born overseas wait longer to get the age pension by increasing the residential requirements from 10 to 15 years, to increase the pension age to 70, to axe the energy supplement to two million Australians, including around 400,000 age pensioners, and to take away the pension supplement from pensioners who go overseas for more than six weeks, which will see around $120 million ripped from the pockets of pensioners?
