This result builds on the amendment I introduced in the House, and my PBO analysis which showed the government’s changes would have taken $1.5bn out of the pockets of pensioners. The government has had a shocker with this Bill, as they’ve refused to reveal the full extent of its unfair impacts. But this is such a big win for older Australians, who will retain the support they’ve invested in for decades, and keep the pressure off our overstretched public hospitals. ![](https://politics.computer/media/5b2cb93781287350ff42c5256c9019c1441c07e2e2197fa315569772e9f350b7?w=480) MP, Federal # [Dr Monique Ryan](https://politics.computer/mp/monique-ryan) [Monique Ryan](https://politics.computer/mp/monique-ryan), member for [Kooyong](https://politics.computer/seats/federal/kooyong) Paid for by Monique Ryan Spent Under $400 Times shown 2K–6K Running since 29 Oct 2026 Run as 4 separate ads, 4 still running.
