My question is to the Prime Minister. Before the election, in a press release dated 26 August 2013, the Prime Minister said:

Over 320,000 Australians are afflicted by dementia …

These numbers will only increase as our population gets older.

Prime Minister, given the increasing number of Australians affected by dementia, why did you cut the dementia and severe behaviours supplement without warning to anyone?
