ALBO’S SHAMELESS BETRAYAL, LABOR LAUNCHES $3 BILLION RAID ON PENSIONERS’ HEALTHCARE While Anthony Albanese sits comfortably on a mountain of taxpayer funded perks, his government has just declared war on Australia’s most vulnerable. In a brutal, cold hearted cash grab, Labor is ripping away private health rebates, forcing up to 1.5 MILLION struggling seniors to choose between buying groceries or keeping their medical cover. Albo would never dream of sacrificing his own elite healthcare, yet he expects older Australians who built this country to cop the pain for his budget disaster. This isn’t policy, it’s an absolute mugging of our retirees. The shocking reality of Labor's attack: Over 1.2 million, and potentially up to 1.5 million, full and part rate pensioners are being aggressively targeted to foot the bill for Labor's financial incompetence. In an embarrassing display of incompetence, the government completely cooked the books, failing to realise their plan hits 300,000 more seniors than they estimated. Peak bodies (COTA & National Seniors) are screaming from the rooftops. This short sighted raid will force vulnerable elderly Australians out of private care, triggering an unprecedented collapse of our already buckling public hospital system. The experts handed Albo easy alternatives to save cash, like cutting fat from overpriced medical devices or taxing high flying millionaires. Instead, Labor chose to raid the wallets of grandmas and grandpas who have paid taxes for decades. This is a gutless, out of touch assault on the everyday Australians who can least afford it. Absolutely disgraceful.
