  • Age Pension (9 speeches)
    My question is addressed to the Acting Prime Minister. Does the Acting Prime Minister stand by her statement that it is impossible to live on the single age pension?
  • Economy (10 speeches)
    My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Why is a strong budget surplus critical for Australia during this period of global economic uncertainty?
  • Pensions and Benefits (2 speeches)
    My question is to the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs. Does the minister stand by his statement that increasing the entitlement for more than 70,000 veterans by $30 a week is a stunt?
  • Economy (13 speeches)
    My question is to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer outline why it is so important, when framing economic policy, to be in touch with the daily lives of Australian families?
