Mr HOCKEY (North Sydney—The Treasurer) (14:59): We absolutely have no plans to change super. We honour our commitment in relation to superannuation and we think it is vitally important, during a period when people are actually getting comparatively low returns on their investments, that they have stability and certainty in relation to superannuation. I note that the question came from the honourable member for McMahon. I am going to ask this question of the House. Who said this: The tax concessions for superannuation are substantial. They are justified because they avoid future payments of the age pension and they help boost our pool of savings ... The problem with this is that it creates uncertainty for, and concern by people who are making voluntary contributions to superannuation. Who said that? He said the changes to superannuation: … creates uncertainty for, and concern by people who are making voluntary contributions to superannuation. Who would that be? Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Mr Hockey: You are the human shield here, are you? Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, in the last point of order you ruled that it was now allowed to ask about alternative policies. If this is in order, then it is implied alternative policies—whether it is asked or not. There is no way that this answer— The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The member will resume his seat. Mr Burke interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat or leave; the choice is his. Very simply, I said previously that the practice in the way the questions have been asked over the years will stand. The Prime Minister indicated that he wished the Treasurer to ask this question. Mr HOCKEY: I say to the honourable member for McMahon that we share his view in his book in July 2013. Hearts and Minds, it was called. It was from Chris Bowen. They are all writing books over there. Even the member for Lilley is getting the Parliamentary Library to write his second book! It is a good book, you should read it. It is very good! I would say to the honourable member for McMahon that the coalition believes not just in words but in actions. We should deliver certainty and stability in superannuation. The Labor Party not only wants to introduce new taxes on people's superannuation but wants to keep changing the rules. I would ask him to go back to his own book, look at his own words and reflect on his own wisdom at that point.
