Senator Steve Fielding - Leader of Family First
A Fairer Go For Our Veterans Petition
Do you think it’s fair that over 600,000 Australians who are serving or have previously served to defend and protect this country are seeing their retirement benefits eroded and their standard of living being continually reduced?
If you don’t and want the government to fix the indexation arrangements of Military Superannuation Pensions sign my petition below.
To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned calls on the Rudd Government, in the interest of fairness and proper recognition of the unique nature of military service, to:
1. Stop the discrimination against the ex-service community and put an end to the current indexation arrangements for military superannuation pensions which are hopelessly inadequate and condemn our military pensioners to fall further behind rising community income standards.
2. Link the Military Superannuation Pension to an indexation method that conforms with general community standards such as the same indexation arrangements used for the Aged and Service pensions.
3. Immediately update the Life Expectancy Tables for DFRDB commutation arrangements and rectify the injustices associated with the application of inappropriate life tables.
