My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Cormann: I refer to the government's proposed changes to superannuation default insurance. From 2003 to 2016 more than 3,400 workers lost their lives on the job. Of those, 335 were under the age of 25. Why does the government want to deny young workers and their families the benefits of cost-effective default insurance?
