CPI Update

On 22 April 2009 the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced a Consumer Price Index (CPI) change of -0.18% for the September 2008 to March 2009 period. To arrive at that figure, the following calculation was made:

(Mar 2009 CPI number) - (Sept 2008 CPI number)
-------------------------------
(Sept 2008 CPI number)
× 100 = CPI change (Sept 08 to Mar 09)
(166.2 - 166.5)
-----------------------------
166.5
× 100 = -0.1801801%
  = -0.18% (when rounded to the nearest tenth of one per cent)

Therefore on payday 2 July 2009, your MilitarySuper pension will not be increased.
