The elderly are eagerly awaiting news of what may be in store for them in the budget and the Henry tax review. “The government has been sitting for too long on the Henry report,” said Raymond Ferguson, spokesperson for the Queensland Pensioners and Superannuants League. “They should have made it public by now.”Pensioners are still struggling to get by said Mr Ferguson despite recent increases in the base rate of the aged pension. “We have been affected by the Queensland government’s changes to the public transport concession and the reduction of the petrol subsidy has had a big impact. Now private health insurance premiums are going up by six per cent as well.Many pensioners need private health cover because they need constant medical attention.” Since the 20th March 2010, the single rate of aged pension has been calculated to equal 27.5 per cent of average weekly male earnings, up from 25 per cent. Single aged pensioners received an increase of $29.10 per fortnight, while couples got about $44 extra.Ferguson said pension increases lagged six to nine months behind price and wage increases. “The pension really needs to be about 35 per cent of average male weekly earnings per cent to provide for a reasonable standard of living for the elderly.”
