    Look under Certain Concessions for Pensioners and Seniors Card Holders.
    This refers to the termination of the National Partnership Agreement on Concessions for Pensioners Concession Card and Seniors Card Holders.

    The link to the Partnership agreement is:

    I spoke to Helen Pearce at the DLG on Friday and they are aware of the issue but at this stage are unsure of the impact – whether a State or Local Govt issue.
