My question is to Senator Minchin, representing the Treasurer. I refer the minister to the Treasurer’s announcement of an inquiry into international tax benchmarks and to public comments by Mr Dick Warburton, the co-head of that inquiry. Is the minister aware that Mr Warburton has claimed that the nine per cent superannuation guarantee would be reviewed as part of the inquiry? Can the minister now rule out any reduction in the nine per cent superannuation guarantee, something that underpins contributions to the retirement income savings of more than nine million working Australians?
