Neville, We had a win today.

Tony Abbott and Kevin Andrews were forced to back down on the cruellest of their pension cuts.

They wanted to rip away $80 a week from 3.7 million older Australians.

When I gave my Budget reply, I solemnly pledged to Australia’s pensioners that I would fight for a fair pension. And you stood with me in this pledge.

You’ve signed petitions, called ministers’ offices and told us your Budget stories. And today, we won this fight together.

This is our victory – and this is the Abbott Government’s defeat. Thank you.

Will you share this graphic to spread the news?

Make no mistake: this will not be the last time Tony Abbott tries this on. Tony Abbott wants to cut pensions. He wants to cut billions from schools and hospitals. He has not given up on his GP tax.

As long as Tony Abbott and the Liberal Party occupy the benches of Government, Australians will always have to fear these people attacking their cost of living.

Today, we draw the battle lines for the next election. Between a party that protects the pension, and a party that cuts it. Between a party that stands up for families, and a party that forgets them. Between a movement who will always fight for the most vulnerable amongst us, and a Prime Minister who lied to us.

That’s the choice. That’s the contest. Labor’s up for this fight — and together I know we can win it. We beat the Liberals today, and we’ll beat them at the next election.

Thanks for standing with me on this,

Bill
