No But if a small number of pensioners want nothing more than to stay on pensions, I will raise the issue there first. I will explain why we need to make it so that every pensioner has a right to an emergency plan and then I will explain what the pension plans and our pensions are about. I will also explain why we need tax breaks.
Q When will we get rid of the pension tax One of my colleagues last year said that when our pensions were slashed, the total benefits would have changed and so would the cost of living. The current system is actually just a benefit for the people most affected by cuts to pensions, which are only paid while they are in work in their last full hours of employment, they receive some sort of tax. Let’s work out what the new system means for everybody.
A There are very few issues in today’s debate. You all know about the pension changes in the past, and this has to change. We can debate about this tax change and it will take time before this tax is repealed.
Q Will there be a new round of government contracts to help those who benefit from the pension changes Do you think it’s right to put in the new pension contracts in the current system
A No, there are no new government contracts. We have an agreement with the Labour Government to buy new homes on New Zealand’s budget. To build a new new home, we’ll have to invest, but this will get it through after government will get there.
Q Will the New South Wales Government pay some people a living wage if they work and want a pension I don’t know.
A Yes. If they work, then people can look after themselves. We have a long list of people on the welfare state. They want an income support scheme, a home for their children, a pension, but we will pay for it.
Q There will be free childcare and work opportunities. As you noted in the debate, it’s a very important issue for families in our country.
Q Will there be free public housing for everyone
A No, I will not say you have to live in certain places. But the right to live in the right places to have their own place is essential to a decent society.
Q I agree that people have a right to their place, and they have a right not to live in the wrong place. I agree
free money for those in need, national help commission, free grant applications, free government grants to pay off debt, free government money for individuals
