Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:42): The fact is that we were re-elected on a set of policies by the Australian people. We were re-elected on those policies, and we will put those policies to this chamber, and we will be looking to you. But if the Australian Labor party will not cooperate, will not respect the will of the Australian people, then we will look to the crossbench. We come into this chamber with an ambition to do what is best for the Australian people on all the tasks but most particularly the task of budget repair because this is a new parliament. This is a new parliament with a government returned with a mandate to give effect to the commitments it made during the election. Senator Cameron: It is the same old government. You have got no mandate. Senator BRANDIS: If you—as your colleague, Senator Cameron, keeps interjecting—refuse to accept that the government was re-elected and therefore has a mandate, we do look— The PRESIDENT: Order! A point of order, Senator Dastyari. Senator Dastyari: My point of order goes to relevance. There was only one clear question—that was, whether or not it is absolutely ironclad and whether or not the Prime Minister stands by that commitment. A minute has already passed and the minister has made no attempt to answer the question. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Dastyari. I will remind the Attorney-General of the question. Senator BRANDIS: Thank you, Mr President. I will, of course, abide your ruling and I will come directly to the question of superannuation. The government's reforms to the superannuation system will make the system more flexible and sustainable. It will help more Australians be self-sufficient in their retirement. It is a fair system, as the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann, outlined in his answer to the previous question from Senator Leyonhjelm. We know, Senator Gallagher, that you have announced that you will oppose the government's plan to adjust the superannuation system to fit modern work patterns. That reduction of the government's flexibility measures will see up to one million Australians—mostly women, carers, contractors and older Australians—worse off. That is your vision, Senator Gallagher. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Gallagher, a supplementary question.
