QuestionView source ↗
Given the Liberal Party’s promised review of the eligibility criteria of the Western Australian Seniors Card before the State Election 2008, and that in September 2009 the Minister for Seniors and Volunteering said an announcement would be made soon, I ask:
(a) why are seniors who choose to continue to work still being excluded from the generous concessions of the Western Australian Seniors Card;
(b) when will the Minister make an announcement on this issue; and
(c) has the Minister received funding for this election promise?
