Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for low income pensioners

Agree

No, but indexed to the rate of inflation

Slightly agree

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.
