WOW pensioners will now have to pay full car registration etc. Looks like families like mine will have to help our elderly relatives even more. Why is this govt so cruel??? The pension concession and Commonwealth Seniors Health cards offer travel, electricity, phone and council rate discounts in an agreement with the states. But buried in the budget documents the government reveals it will be terminating this agreement after July 1, saving $1.3 billion over four years. It will hurt pensioners the most. This will cost $1000 to $2000 a year. No one was expecting that. Since its not a direct payment to pensioners the government didnt want to highlight this, Biti says.
