Dear Dr. Burke
In the 2013 Budget speech, the Minister of Finance made the following statement: -
"It is also proposed that the old age grant means test should be phased out by 2016, accompanied by offsetting revisions to the secondary and tertiary rebates. All citizens over a designated age will be eligible for the grant, which will simplify its administration and address the disincentive to save that arises from the present means test.
It would be appreciated if this matter could be considered again.

Thanks

D H Muller
