My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said before the election:

If it is inadequate to increase Centrelink pensions by just the consumer price index, it is even less fair to apply only that index to those who have risked their lives for our country. Loyalty goes both ways.

I also refer to page 203 of Budget Paper No. 2, which shows a cut of $65 million to veterans pensions. Why is the Prime Minister breaking his promise to veterans?
