Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I will have a third go at it. Given the federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan, described as ‘sickening’ the payouts given to the privileged few when others are struggling and given the Rudd government talks about ending this rorting but fails to act, will it act if the Leader of the Opposition calls for an end to excessive parliamentary super for all of those members elected before 2004, just as Mr Howard jumped after Mr Latham called for an end to the rort for then-new MPs?
