There has been an agreement reached between the government and the Australian Greens. It is a good agreement. It is an agreement which means that pensions will be fairer and more sustainable over the future. What this agreement does is give 170,000 Australians with very modest assets $30 a fortnight more. And Labor wants to take it away so that people with a million dollars in assets and the family home should continue to be part pensioners. Well, nothing better illustrates the deranged moral compass of the current Labor Party.
