This is from the senator who opposes the low-income super contribution. They no longer oppose the increase in the Superannuation Guarantee Charge. This is a government that has been a very strong supporter of superannuation. We are seeking to lift the minimum level of superannuation contributions. Recall that Senator Cormann and others opposed the MRRT, which assists in funding that and, most importantly, the low-income superannuation contribution, which millions of Australians on low incomes will need in order to ensure they can increase their superannuation in order to ensure they can get a similar level of tax break to high-income earners, was opposed by those opposite. And 2.1 million of the people projected to receive that are women workers. These are the sorts of policies you oppose—additional superannuation for low-income Australians. (Time expired)
