Angry pensioners and a Family First senator have stripped off and stopped traffic on one of Melbourne's busiest intersections in a protest against a lack of support for seniors in this
week's Federal Budget.
Up to 200 elderly people stood at the corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets this morning.'John', 69, who ran off into the intersection and stripped off to his underpants, said the budget was a "slap in the face" for pensioners.
"More needs to be done," he said.Police tried to coax him away from the intersection but a swarm of other pensioners joined him before officers could stop them.Another woman stripped down to her bra and longjohns during the protest.Police then escorted the pensioners back up to the steps of Flinders Street Station after about 15 minutes.
They carried placards with messages including "Swan can swim - we are drowning", aimed at Treasurer Wayne Swan, who handed down the budget on Tuesday night.The protest, organised by Shirley Grant, 72, of Glenroy, called for a fair go for pensioners.
It's a slap in the face for all pensioners."The protesters were calling for between $70 and $100 extra per week in their pensions.
