AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT FACT SHEET — INDEXATION OF MILITARY SUPERANNUATION PENSIONS

The Government recently commissioned what it calls a “Fact Sheet” in response to ADSO letters asking for fair indexation of military superannuation pensions. Their MPs and Senators now routinely enclose this “fact” sheet when replying to constituent requests for fair indexation.

The Government “fact” sheet is inaccurate, avoids the key indexation issues, and is economical with the real facts. It is a triumph of spin over substance.

But dont take ADSOs word for it. Make up your own mind…

Make your views known to your local Federal member, State Senators and others who opposed the Fair Indexation Bill.

Lets see how the Parliamentarians will respond to our rebuttal.
