My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. Despite your assurances, Senator Paterson said on Monday:
I also think it's worthwhile for the government … to examine the wisdom of increasing the compulsory superannuation contribution from 9.5 per cent to 12 per cent.
Yesterday, Senator Bragg, in his first speech, said:
I would change direction. Super should be made voluntary for Australians earning under $50,000.
And, later:
… I would be inclined to make the whole scheme voluntary.
Does the minister agree with Senator Bragg?
