"The federal government and the Greens have struck a deal that will see the proposed changes to the pensions asset test passed by Parliament...

“The carbon tax will go, but no-one personal tax will go up and no-one's fortnightly pension or benefit will go down.”
-Budget reply speech, House of Representatives, Parliament House, 16 May 2013


"This includes 90,000 pensioners who will be kicked off the pension altogether.

Single pensioners will lose as much as $8,000.

Couples will lose as much as $14,000."
