Member for Tweed and Shadow Minister for Seniors, Geoff Provest MP has today slammed the NSW Labor Government for not doing enough to support seniors.
“First they cancel the Regional Seniors Travel Card now the fuel discount program touted as the next best cost saving measure has been discontinued”, Mr Provest said.
“United Petroleum have stopped accepting the physical discount cards offering 4c off per litre in NSW instead needing seniors to download a new loyalty smartphone app which uses QR codes”.
Many older people either dont have smartphones or are unable to download apps.
This switch to United Petroleum was supported by the NSW Minister for Seniors and now many seniors relying on this saving will be worse off again under Labor.
