    Is this what they call heckled.

    "While speaking at the event, Ms Gillard was interrupted by a disability support pensioner who was angry at work restrictions imposed on people who receive welfare support.

    The woman said she had been left "wheelchair-bound and incontinent" after school bullying drove her to attempt suicide.

    "The pension alone does not even cover my ongoing medical needs and appointments," she said.

    "I will never be able to work full time, but because every dollar of income I earn reduces my pension by 50 cents, I would need to work for a minimum of 27 hours every single week just to equal minimum wage."

    Ms Gillard responded: "OK, well we're listening," adding that she would have a staff member follow up on the pensioner's concerns."
