The member for Warringah has woken up! This morning he actually said that the age pension age should go up more quickly than that being proposed by the government. So we hope to hear from the Leader of the Opposition tonight in his budget reply: is this now Liberal Party policy? Is he going to confirm the member for Warringah’s statement this morning that the age pension age should go up more quickly? Of course the member for Higgins was not prepared to act when he was in government. Let us see whether the Leader of the Opposition is going to support the member for Warringah tonight.
