My supplementary question is: why has the government cut the super co-contribution for low-income earners by $1,000, down from $1,500 under the Howard government to just $500 now, in particular given Labor's emphatic promise before the 2007 election that it would not make any changes to superannuation? Can the minister rule out any further cuts to the low-income earners super co-contribution in the next budget?
