Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for low income pensioners

This aligns with their overall approach to supporting vulnerable populations.

No, but indexed to the rate of inflation

Yes, and implement a PISA (personal investment security account) system

While the Liberal party may not be opposed to the idea of a PISA system, there is not enough historical evidence to suggest that they would strongly support this specific proposal. Their focus has been on targeted increases and support for low-income seniors.
