We absolutely have no plans to change super. We honour our commitment in relation to superannuation and we think it is vitally important, during a period when people are actually getting comparatively low returns on their investments, that they have stability and certainty in relation to superannuation. I note that the question came from the honourable member for McMahon. I am going to ask this question of the House. Who said this:

The tax concessions for superannuation are substantial. They are justified because they avoid future payments of the age pension and they help boost our pool of savings ... The problem with this is that it creates uncertainty for, and concern by people who are making voluntary contributions to superannuation.

Who said that? He said the changes to superannuation:

… creates uncertainty for, and concern by people who are making voluntary contributions to superannuation.

Who would that be?
