My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s statement in parliament on 26 March this year:

Working families in Australia have never been better off.

How can the Prime Minister claim that working families in Australia have never been better off, when last year Australians withdrew $135.5 million from their superannuation early because they were unable to meet reasonable and immediate living expenses—four times more than that withdrawn in 2001?
