Andrew Robb (Goldstein, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and COAG and Shadow Minister Assisting the Leader on Emissions Trading Design) Share this | Hansard source

This morning on the ABC AM radio program the Minister for Finance and Deregulation alleged that I had suggested on Sunday’s Insiders program that, in some way, the government mandate that superannuation funds invest in particular infrastructure projects. That is a total misrepresentation. At no time have I talked of mandating super funds to invest in particular projects. In fact, it was obvious to anyone who was listening and watching that I was talking about the failure of COAG to urgently overhaul complex and costly regulations, as highlighted by the oil and gas industry this morning on the front page of the Financial Review.
