Just received a signed letter (4 June 2014) from Ewen Jones. It came with his speech on Thursday, 29 May.


Amongst other things like DVA gold and white cards and Mental Health and other measures, it says;


" As your federal representative in Canberra, I am proud to see this legislation fully funded in this year's budget. Those aged 55 and over will have their pensions indexed by the better of movements in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Pensioner Beneficiary Living Cost Index (PBLCI) and Male Total Average Weekly Earnings (MTAWE). The changes come into effect from 1 July 2014".


Well, there you go, signed, in writing.
