Mr Speaker, on 9 May this year the government released a discussion paper entitled A plan to simplify and streamline superannuation. Given that it is now 147 days since this discussion paper was released, and given that there are only four weeks of sittings left this year, have you or the Table Office received any indication from the government as to when the tax laws amendment bill on simplifying and streamlining superannuation might be introduced in this House?

I thank the member for Prospect. I would make two points. Firstly, no, I have not. Secondly, I think he should direct that question to someone in the government.
