My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Social Services, Senator Fierravanti-Wells. I refer to reports today that the Prime Minister is taking his misleading scare campaign on Labor's reforms to dividend imputation cash refunds to pensioners across Australia. Will the Prime Minister be telling the pensioners he meets with that he has cut $1 billion from pensioner concessions and axed the $900 seniors supplement to self-funded retirees receiving the Commonwealth seniors health card? How many pensioners in Cowper are worse off as a result of the government's changes to the pension assets test that came into effect on 1 January last year?
