The Minister for Families and Social Services just confirmed for me that pensioners are already on the highest income support payment. On top of that, of course, we are making two $750 additional contributions. The first has gone out from the end of March to the middle of April, and the second will go out in July. We are recognising that there are additional challenges, of course, which is why we've made these additional contributions.
