I think that we are unfortunately seeing, as I mentioned earlier, an attack on self-funded retirees. Self-funded retirees have long felt that the Labor Party has not given them enough attention and that the recognition they deserve for being able to provide for their own retirement has not been adequately recognised. This government makes no apology whatsoever for the recognition that we give to self-funded retirees, and I regret to say that we are back to the old Latham view of the world where we pit people against people. This government has looked after pensioners and it has looked after self-funded retirees.
