Pensions fall behind basic wage as pensioners plead for increase
At a Victorian Division executive council meeting, Mr. Cremean MP urged raising pensions to 40 per cent of the basic wage, noting the 7/6 uplift fails to match living costs. He argued many have worked lifelong and saved little, needing real justice rather than gifts. He backed invalid pensions for all unable to work from age 16. Rent and living costs, including medicine, push pensioners toward poverty as discussion on cost of living adjustments continues.
