Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:06): I thank Senator Farrell for his follow-up question.

Senator Wong: The question didn't go to a history of the social security system. The question went to whether or not the minister still considers the pension to be generous.

I said in response to the first question from Senator Farrell that I certainly did not intend to infer that older Australians were doing it easy. And I am concerned about any offence that may have occurred or been taken by older Australians over comments that were made.
