Di Natale, Sen Richard

Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:21): Mr President, I ask a final supplementary question. Last year, the government abolished the low-income super contribution scheme that overwhelmingly benefited women, casual workers and low-income earners to enable them to set themselves up for retirement. Will the government consider reinstating this measure so that they no longer get taxed more on their super than on their income, while those on more than $180,000 a year enjoy a 30 per cent benefit for contributions? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Can senators on both sides of the chamber keep quiet.
