My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to an email I received from Marie Kinniburgh in my electorate and her 23-year-old daughter with a disability. Marie said: 'We will be affected by all the constraints imposed by the new pension indexation, health payments, student loans, petrol excise, utilities concession defunding and rebate freezing.' On top of this, Marie tells me her daughter will lose the pensioner education supplement, which is worth more than $1,600 a year. Can the Prime Minister advise what further cuts he is now planning that will hit Marie and her family?
