My question is to the Minister for Finance and Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. Before the introduction of compulsory superannuation under Labor in the 1990s, most Australian working women didn't have access to super. Today, superannuation is one of the largest pools of retirement savings in the world. It underpins the retirement of millions of Australian workers, but, on average, women still retire with less super than men. Why is compulsory superannuation so important, and what has superannuation delivered for Australians since it was introduced in the nineties? How has the Albanese Labor government continued to build on this important legacy while also delivering better super outcomes for Australian women?
