You would think the Leader of the Opposition would be capable of giving a straight answer to a simple question: 'Would you reinstate higher compulsory contributions to superannuation at the next election?' You would think the man who is doing his angry union official impersonation now would be able to give a straight answer to that question. But what did he say? He said: 'We're not going to unveil our election policies now.'

Honourable members interjecting—

We know the Leader of the Opposition loved the carbon tax and is going to hit us with a carbon tax should Labor ever get re-elected. What we can conclude from this kind of prevarication is that he wants to restore the mining tax too.
