To THe Senate Select Committee on Superannuation and Financial Services
Inquiry into the benefit design of Commonwealth public sector and defence 
force unfunded superanuation funds and schemes

It is quite obviously self-serving and unfair for politicians to have a 
higher indexation level for their superannuation pensions than for public 
servants, as currently exists.

Many public servants who are approaching retirement will be deeply 
distressed if this anomaly continues, and are unlikely to vote for 
politicians who allow it to continue.

All pensions supplied by the government should be fair and indexed fairly, 
honestly and equitably.  You, as members of Parliament sitting on this 
Senate committee, are expected by the community to achieve these goals.

Yours sincerely
