""Dole bludgers are an easy political target I suppose.""

Exactly moondoong. And they were targeted by the Coalition because the Coalition assumes they are mostly Labor voters.
The Coalition looked after most pensioners because they know many pensioners are Liberal voters so they could not risk alienating them.

This Labor government has looked after pensioners even better than the Coalition did but like the Coalition have largely ignored those on benefits.
