In response to the minister's offensive claim, the National Seniors Australia chief advocate, that very fine man, Mr Ian Henschke, from South Australia, said:

Look, I realise the minister is very new, but maybe she should go read a report that was done by the Per Capita group, that one in four pensioners are living in poverty.

Has the minister now read the report by the Per Capita Group? Does the minister still consider the pension to be generous?
