I will get Senator Sherry a specific answer to his question, but this gives me a very good opportunity to repeat—because it was announced only last night—the very good news of the government removing the tax on superannuation end benefits rather than removing the tax on superannuation contributions, which is something that, I think, at one stage the Labor Party favoured. It is a policy which affects every single person who has money in superannuation and it is a policy which is targeted to assisting those who want to stay in the workforce longer.
