Mr President, it is breathtaking that those opposite seek to come in here and play rule-in rule-out games. The premise of the question is about playing rule-in rule-out games, yet Mr Abbott himself confirmed that one of the first things he would do if elected is to scrap a billion dollars' worth of the superannuation tax break for low-paid workers. Some 3.6 million low-paid workers would be facing having less money—$500 would be ripped away from Australian superannuants if those opposite got the chance to implement their policies. They want to come in here and start rule-in rule-out games to cover what Mr Abbott said last week. Let us be honest here, Mr Abbott said that he was going to do it—and we hear dead silence over there. (Time expired)
