Such a nice sort of person you are trashcan the way you ask a question. Pfffttt. 1) I am a 69yo age pensioner not a DSP pensioner. 2) I do not claim back a refund of franking credits I get on my SUN and TLS shares. I don't pay income tax and don't feel entitled to a tax refund. 3) I have never claimed to be on a DSP. You just made that up. 4) IMO all pensions should be the same. I can't recall what Rudd did to make them equal if he did so. 5) The DSP as far as I know has always been well above the level of the dole so you are wrong again there. You are the bitter one who is full of sh..t !
