I withdraw. The Leader of the Opposition says that you can only believe something he says if it is in writing. Perhaps you can only believe something the opposition say if it is written in the pecuniary interest return to the House of Representatives, because what they say is worth less than what they do. If I tried to desert my seat I would probably try to make investments to improve my retirement income as well. But we actually care more about the retirement incomes of all Australians. If the opposition want to be taken seriously, they should stop crying crocodile tears about the price of mining shares and should support our efforts to improve the retirement incomes of all Australians, to give all Australians a secure and dignified retirement.
