Pensioner tells PM Abbott to leave pensioners alone

[fourandsixpants]

Don't like the way TA sniggers mockingly at the beginning especially, then throughout he does the thrusting with his hands moves/gestures for emphasis-like this is supposed to convince everyone that he is telling the truth when he speaks?? no!

what does it matter who she votes for?

fact is fact, and she is right - pensioners cannot tighten the belt anymore and survive.

he did not address her concern, he mocked her and tried to deflect the issue.

Good on her for speaking out for pensioners.

Changes not good for aged pensioners

2017 - Currently the half yearly pension increases are based on the highest of the increase in the CPI, Male Total Average Weekly Earnings and the Pensioner and Beneficiary Living Cost Index. Basing the increases on the CPI only will almost certainly reduce the future income received by pensioners.

Not to mention four instances of lip-smacking.

The righties haven't yet discovered who  Vilma is, or was, on either thread.

Couldn't care less about his mannerisms -  it's what he says, or doesn't say.   Poor show Mr Abbott.

This woman is speaking up for pensioners who aren't articulate like she is.

ha ha ha Good on her for having the guts to stand up for what she believes is right.  Shame that TA is full of wind and air because another election would be brilliant.  I'll wave bye bye as he leaves Parliament house for the last time!! lol
