To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives:

This petition of certain citizens of Australia

Draws the attention of the House to the inadequacy of the Age Pension to provide a decent standard of living for older Australians. Older Australians need sufficient income to enable them to live healthy lives as active members of their com-munities.

We therefore ask the House to increase the Age Pension to guarantee a decent standard of living for those whose total income is inadequate to meet today’s costs of living.

by Mrs Irwin (from 259 citizens)
