THE recent harassment of pensioners by the Government to stop giro cheques because of fraud is ridiculous.
I implore all pensioners who want to keep their giro cheques to hang on and do nothing. The Government must pay you your pension each week and the only reason they are trying to stop giro cheques is to save money.
Do not be taken in by the Government. Just stop voting for them. About 20,000 pensioners, at the last count, were receiving giro cheques. That is a lot of votes to lose.
Stand up and be counted. DO not let them push you around. They are all tarred with the same brush.
MP’s that is.
