We are not changing the rules on superannuation. The Labor Party wants to change the rules on superannuation. How would you judge that commitment? Because we have not changed superannuation and the Labor Party did change superannuation—$9 billion worth of changes after the Labor Party gave a commitment in the 2007 election that they would not change superannuation, not one jot, not one tittle. Remember that? Not one tittle. Remember that? So I would say no wonder the member for Lilley is looking down at his Solitaire iPad and no wonder he has the member for Rankin lobbying on his behalf around the backbench for him to come back. You laugh; he is not laughing. He is burying his face in his Solitaire. I would say to the honourable member for McMahon: there is a clear point of difference between the coalition and the Labor Party. The Labor Party wants to tax superannuation and the coalition is totally opposed to that.
