It is time for the members on the other side of this parliament to tell the truth. It is time for them to stop their masquerade. It is time for them to stop pretending that they are the best friends that pensioners have ever had. It is time for them to fess up and admit to the pensioners of Australia that they are cutting their pension. Australian pensioners know that you cannot trust the Abbott government. Before the election, Tony Abbott and his bunch of merry men promised one thing and since the election he has done another thing. Before the election he said that there would be no changes to the pension.
