So last night the bill was put. It was voted for in the end by the government and One Nation and it ceased the bereavement allowance and transferred people to a new form of payment which was a lower amount of payment. What you're saying is that this amendment only takes people to the lower amount of money that they would be provided with as a result of the legislation that was voted on last night? If that's the case, they are worse off.
