spoke about taking the super guarantee back down from 12 to nine per cent. The shadow treasurer wrote about dismantling compulsory super for lower and middle-income earners. This Labor government is delivering more super and more sustainable tax breaks. They are the same old Liberals—peddling their extreme right-wing ideology, hacking at wages and hacking at retirement incomes of the working people of this country—and now with a shadow treasurer who wants to dismantle super, privatise Medicare, end work from home and ditch the dual mandate that asks the RBA to consider its impact on employment. This side of the House is proud of superannuation. We built the thing. We are doing more than protect it from those opposite; we are making it stronger, we are making it fairer and that's what the new laws deliver.
