To the member's question, there are arrangements for self-funded retirees in the package. It does depend on people's individual circumstances—of course it does—but for anybody to gain the impression from his question that somehow if you are a self-funded retiree there is no assistance available is not right. In fact, some self-funded retirees will see the increase in the pension that full pensioners will receive; they will also experience a tax cut on income earned.
