For pensioners, the standard of living is spiralling down. The single age pension should be increased to $1,200 per fortnight in the next Budget.

The March half-yearly pension increase will be keenly awaited by many… but will it be enough?

In the next few days pensions will increase just short of $38 for singles and $58 for couples on full rate pensions based on the increase in the CPI from July 1 to December 31 2022.
