I refer to the decision to raise the forthcoming cap on the seniors local government rate rebate from $550 to $750 and I ask: (a) noting that the spending changes were booked for the initial cap level in the 2015-16 budget, what is the increase in spending as a result of this change in each year of the forward estimates; and (b) noting that in the 2015-16 Estimates hearing for the Department of Local Government and Communities in Supplementary Information A46, the Department provided the number of seniors affected in each local government area, can the Minister please provide for the revised cap level: (i) the number of seniors who will be up to $100 worse off in each local government area; and (ii) the number of seniors who will be between $100 and $500 worse off in each local government area?
