My question is to the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Ruston. Last week in an interview with 3AW's Neil Mitchell, the minister described the age pension as 'generous'.

An honourable senator: What!

Yes, that's what she described it as. Can the minister explain why pensioners doing it tough should accept her view that the payment is generous?
