Pension Indexation Campaign What is this campaign about? Commonwealth superannuation pensioners, (former Commonwealth public servants and former Defence Force personnel) have their superannuation pensions indexed by the CPI, an indexation tool abandoned more than a decade ago for other Government funded pensions. This issue affects almost 350,000 senior Australians whose average pension is now less [...]
ComSuper & Defence Pension
On Monday 4 July I gave an adjournment speech with updated information on fair indexation for ComSuper and Defence force pensions.
My further speech on 16 June explained Labor’s opposition to the bill. In summary this bill did not provide a sustainable, fair and funded solution to the inadequacy of CPI indexation.
Throughout my advocacy on this issue I have made it clear that I am bound to vote with the Labor Caucus decision. Asserting that I personally held a deciding vote for this bill is incorrect and misleading.
I have closed comments on my blog for the time being. I refer you to the code of conduct for my website which outlines the aims of the blog.
You can continue to contact me about this issue through my email address senator.lundy@aph.gov.au or write to me at 11 London Cct, Canberra, ACT, 2601.
Senator Kate Lundy
