The minister for Social services is AMANDA RISHWORTH ..EMAIL is [email protected] for your benefit. I have emailed some of my concerns and the more people that maybe do this, the better.
I am sorry BUT we Pensioners in NSW will not see a reduction in our electricity prices..IN FACT WE WILL SEE AN INCREASE… Last year we had $500 towards our electricity and now we get $300.. isn’t that an increase of $200 per annum? Can someone PLEASE explain how we are better off?
Yes a $4 a eek reduction.. So pensioners are effectively paying $4 of the $6 that’s been allocated to ALL HOUSEHOLDS.. Rob the poor and give to the rich( Gina Reinhardt).
I just cannot understand why there is no one trying to get pensioners anything substantial..Surely there must be an organisation somewhere that can put these statistics up to the parliamentarians… These sites are great for sharing our experiences and sometimes grievances, but we get absolutely...
Mitchellowe…Agree 100%…..I am glad to see you have done your homework on this.Baby Boomers getting screwed all the time…Governments are making Retirees lives more miserable by the day and yet they keep giving themselves substantial pay increases..

Hi Mitchell. The reply I put in was supposed to be for MYLITTLTIBBIES not for you. ( apologies)…Yes I couldn’t find anything about any increase for pensioners. I really think pensioners( baby boomers) are being ripped off again. If it’s good enough for low income earners getting rises and Tax...
My little
mylittltibbies….. can you show all of us the document that said pensioners are getting an increase $29.40 for couples. I think you have been ill informed…Even my gov or Centrelink have not indicated this..
Hi there.. where does it say pensioners get an increase? The minimum wage has just increased by just over $31.00 a week on top of their tax reductions coming in July. And a couple on the pension gets $29.40/ fortnight..These facts don’t add up even if it was going to happen as this is only...
