Don't think so. They get the country of origin pension first and then the Australian government puts in more to bring it up to the same as Australian born pensioners get. Trouble is with the UK which stopped any increase to their foreign paid pensions a number of years ago so that it is now worth a pittance and Australian taxpayer's are forced to pay more and more each year to the recipients. Guess most other country pensions are in a similar boat given just about everywhere else has a lower cost of living, especially the nations from which so many here have come. Don't think we have too many Swedish or Swiss retirees...
