I'll finish with this final point, on a theme that I believe is relevant and is worth mentioning: we have a situation where we know that women are the predominant beneficiaries of some of the reforms this government has brought in around closing the gender pay gap, enabling superannuation payments on paid parental leave to address the issue of women retiring with less in their balances than men, to address the concerns around women becoming homeless and to address women feeling secure after a lifetime of work, for the simple fact that they might be taking career breaks to look after family. I think we should be focusing on those things, not continuing to use superannuation as a political football like those opposite.
