Older Queenslanders have revealed their cost of living wish list for the treasurer ahead of next week’s state budget. Increased rebates and help with groceries are a priority, as many told 7NEWS, their savings are running out.
Older Queenslanders are calling for cost of living relief ahead of next week’s state budget, with a wish list put forward to the government. The proposed list includes discounts and subsidies to help ease the financial burden on seniors who are struggling to make ends meet.
The Katter’s Australian Party has urged the government to focus on regional areas in the upcoming budget, and provide assistance where it is needed most. A survey conducted by QLD Seniors revealed that older Queenslanders are not immune to the cost-of-living crisis, and many are running out of savings.
The wish list put forward by seniors includes increased rebates for utilities such as electricity and gas, as well as help with groceries and other essential items. Many seniors have expressed their concern that they will be unable to afford basic necessities if their current financial situation continues.
It is hoped that next week’s state budget will address these issues and provide much needed relief for older Queenslanders. It is clear that more needs to be done in order to ensure that all members of our community can live comfortably and without worry about how they will pay for basic necessities.
