Senator Abetz, you will have your opportunity to say that is wrong if that is your view, but these are very important considerations for the ongoing operations of the commission, and this is what the government has been responding to.

With respect to the superannuation reforms, again the government is seeking to progress matters that have concerned some parties, and I have highlighted also that further amendments will be looked at to address some particular issues to improve the industrial superannuation arrangements and how they are managed. I only need to remind people, after listening to Senator Cormann, that it was a Labor government that introduced industry superannuation. It is very, very near to our heart. We are proud of our arrangements, we are proud of our improvements to industry superannuation and we will fight tooth and nail to maintain the integrity of that scheme.
