My question is to the Treasurer. On 16 June the Treasurer said:

The Government has made it crystal clear that we have no interest in increasing taxes on superannuation either now or in the future.

But on Friday the Treasurer backflipped and argued that, actually, superannuation concessions are not well targeted, undermine confidence in the system and need to be changed. Is this another example where the Treasurer says one thing in public but organises—for months—other things in private?
