I AGREE with Karen Sweeney’s comments (“Pensioners deserve a better deal”) in the Bendigo Advertiser on Monday, March 7 about the pension rate increase.
I think that the pension rate should increase by $75 (not $13.20) to be in line with the increased cost of living.
It should increase by this amount each time they review the pension amount (March 20 and September 20) each year.
