My question is to the Prime Minister. According to analysis by National Seniors, increasing power prices, combined with this government's plan to cut the energy supplement to new pensioners, will mean that pensioners in New South Wales will be around $600 a year worse off. Why is the Prime Minister cutting the energy supplement, when it will make it harder for pensioners to stay warm this winter?
