So far as the age pension is concerned, I refer the honourable member to page 69 of the portfolio budget statement, which shows, in relation to the age pension—this comes back to member for Jagajaga's questions as well—under, 'Expenses for income support for seniors', age pension 2013-14, $39 billion; 2014-15, $41 billion; 2015-16, $44.5 billion; 2016-17, $47.5 billion; 2017-18, $49.5 billion. In other words, it is going from $39 billion to $49 billion, end of story.
