It took until 3.24 to break the pea-hearted silence of the shadow Treasurer. We had to sit here for an hour and a half to wait for a question from the shadow Treasurer. He hasn't asked me one since November, and, after all that waiting, that's the best that he can come up with—what a joke!

The answer to his question is this—and I know that it comes from questioning in the Senate, where they did have the courage to ask some questions about superannuation today, not like the pea-hearted approach of the one opposite here, the shadow Treasurer. The answer that the shadow Treasurer is referring to is that right now, in 2025, less than half of one per cent of people will be impacted.
