I thank the member for his question. He raised many particular issues. One of those he raised was on superannuation. I note that in July 2013—this is when the member was in government—he said this:

The Rudd Labor Government—

That is what it was at the time—

will make no major changes to superannuation tax policy for five-year periods, promoting confidence and stability in the superannuation system.

I remind the member that it is not five years since he made that statement. But if he wants to make points about changes of position, or things of this nature—when he was on these benches, he said that he would not change superannuation for five years. That is what he said.

Now there are legitimate issues that the government is looking at. Six months ago the Prime Minister had us look at these matters, and that is what we have been doing. But I tell you the difference between what this side of the House does when we look at things like superannuation and what those on that side of the House do.
