Mr ANDREWS (Menzies—Minister for Social Services) (14:12): I thank the member for Dobell for her question and commend her on the fine representation of the people of Wyong, The Entrance and surrounding areas on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The minister has the call. Mr ANDREWS: I can assure the member for Dobell and everybody in the House and everybody listening to this question time this afternoon that pensioners will keep their pension supplement. They are currently receiving up to $1,635 per annum as a single and up to $2,464 per annum as couples. Not only will they keep that pension supplement but I can also assure the member that that pension supplement will increase again in September. But this has not stopped the Labor Party from claiming otherwise. Opposition members interjecting— Mr ANDREWS: Laugh as you like. Keep laughing. Mr Clare interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Blaxland will desist. Mr ANDREWS: I came across a brochure which clearly says: 'Age pensioners lose $876 per annum seniors supplement'. This brochure is authorised and printed by Senator Doug Cameron. I have news for Senator Cameron and the Labor Party: age pensioners do not receive the seniors supplement—they never have. They did not receive it under you. They do not receive it now. But that does not stop Mr Cameron running around the country saying that they will lose this. Mr Butler: You said it. The SPEAKER: The member for Port Adelaide! Mr Butler interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Port Adelaide is warned! Opposition members interjecting— Mr ANDREWS: Madam Speaker, over all the rabble opposite, what we see once again is a pattern of deceit and deception from the Labor Party. But what is worse about this is that— Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, the minister is making unparliamentary reflections on himself. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The Manager of Opposition Business knows that that is an abuse of standing orders and will desist. Mr ANDREWS: So what is worse about this is that the person who is currently responsible for these— An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: The minister has the call. Mr ANDREWS: services for the Labor Party, responsible for such payments, cannot even get his facts right. So the Leader of the Opposition should either condemn Senator Cameron for this scaremongering— Ms Collins interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Franklin will desist. Mr ANDREWS: or stand him down and get somebody else to do the job. The reality is, I can assure the member for Dobell and everybody else in Australia, pensions will continue to go up. They went up in March, they will go up in September, and the pension supplement will indeed continue to increase and remain in existence.
