Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): Mr Chair, I'm disappointed that the member was not glued to question No. 8 in the House today! I believe it might have come immediately after his questions, where he was probably working his way through the outcome of that. But on behalf of the Minister, the Hon Carmel Sepuloni, I reiterated today the announcement the Government has made to lift the abatement rates for those who are on main benefits. What that means is that you can retain a little more of your income before your benefit starts to reduce. As I said today, there hasn't been a substantive change to those levels for a couple of decades.
