DFRDB - Are you a member?

As you are aware, the Government has recently endorsed the four recommendations of the Matthews Review into the indexation of Military and other Commonwealth Superannuation. This means that those on Military Superannuation pensions will remain disadvantaged by continuing to have their Superannuation pensions indexed by the Consumer Price Index (CPI)

If you are concerned about this report, then you should write a letter to your local MP and Senator.    E-mails should not be used as these days they are overwhelmed with this type of mail - and  convention is that federal politicians as a courtesy do reply to snail mail.

Attached is a draft letter, penned by another retired serviceman which can be used to send to your Senator or Member of Parliament after you have completed the appropriate details.  (Download Draft Letter here)

Please consider and send your letter now - don’t leave it to another day - this is your  chance to complain about the current indexation system.

Politicians' names and addresses can be found at www.aph.gov.au. "
