Senator SIEWERT (Western Australia—Australian Greens Whip) (12:17): I move: That the Senate— (a) notes that: (i) today, due to the differences in the types of indexation, pensions will go up by $17.10 while allowances will only increase by $2.90, and (ii) indexation against the consumer price index alone keeps Newstart so low it cannot adequately meet the true increases in the cost of living; and (b) urges the Government to take immediate steps to appropriately index Newstart at the same rate as the pension to prevent an ever-widening gap.
