My question is addressed to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer rule out making any changes to the taxation treatment of superannuation, as Labor promised prior to the last election?

Mr Speaker, we will keep all of our election commitments. We are the authors of superannuation in this country. We built the system. We are proud of it. And when it is affordable, we will build on it and improve it.
