Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Thank you to the minister for the history lesson. I wonder if he is aware of some of his more personal history in this regard. In the Australian on 8 August 2008 the minister commented:

… one of our election commitments was we will not be increasing the 9 per cent super guarantee which is payable by the employer. We have ruled it out and we will be sticking to that.

Does the minister stand by those comments?
