National says the Government is fixing its own mistake by increasing superannuation and main benefits in line with inflation.
The change kicks in from next month.
National Deputy Leader Nicola Willis says the Government switched to calculating them based off average wages, instead of inflation.
But she told Kate Hawkesby the problem is, average wages haven't kept up with inflation and prices.
Willis says they're pleased to see superannuitants getting the payments they deserve -- but what we need, is a plan to get inflation under control.
