disability pensioner

Vereker, a disability pensioner, was reportedly NSW Labor's second largest individual donor, with a political donation of $75,000 in the 2007 state election campaign.

Mathews was a disability pensioner as a result of a head injury he had sustained many years before, and his injuries affected his ability to concentrate for long periods.

Evidently to preempt any violent reaction this time, the announcement said next year's price increases would be "immediately and automatically compensated to all employees, old age and disability pensioners, and members of their families."
