My question is also addressed to the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services. Hasn't the government, on the one hand, encouraged people to take $20,000 out of their super but now on the other hand wanted to use that to make them wait six months and deny them up to $10,600 in payments when they don't have a job? Why does this government want to pocket a budget saving from the superannuation of people who lose their jobs?
