I probably missed some. They were all kept secret from his own ministry, and from the Australian public as well. So let's talk about transparency and accountability. We welcome it. They are the former government, who want to come to this chamber and talk about transparency and accountability—really! Let's be absolutely clear: those opposite have no interest in transparency and no interest in accountability, and they had 10 long years to demonstrate that.

This motion has absolutely nothing to do with either of those anyway. It is just another ploy in the war that those opposite are waging against our proud Labor legacy of superannuation in this country. What Australians are asking themselves right now is why the Liberals hate super so much. Is it because it was thought up by the union movement, Senator Hume? Is it because it was made universal by a Labor government, Senator Reynolds?
