Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The minister has actually mentioned part of my question, on superannuation. I refer to the government's decision to abolish the low-income superannuation contribution, which we know assists 2.1 million women. Given that women currently retire with half the superannuation of men, won't abolishing the LISC further exacerbate the gender superannuation gap and leave women more vulnerable in their retirement?
