Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:38): One thing I will give to Senator Cormann is that he is predictable. Yesterday he had to ask a question about his op ed that was in the paper. Today he asks a question about the front page of the Australian Financial Review, which he also tweeted about—so thank you very much for that. In terms of the taxation of superannuation and superannuation policy, what I would say is this: those of us on this side are part of the movement which built superannuation in this country. We did that over the vehement opposition of those on the other side, who did not want superannuation to be anything other than the preserve of the wealthy. They did not want superannuation extended to working Australians— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: Go back and look at the debates! You were wrong in the nineties and you are wrong now! And the same values continue to be demonstrated today when you look at Senator Cormann and the coalition's opposition to one of the government's measures, which is a tax break for low-income workers—the low-income super contribution, one of the policies openly opposed by the opposition. Do you know who would get that, Mr President? 3.6 million low-income Australians, 2.1 million of which are women because women are overrepresented in the low-income statistics. So when you want to come in here and talk about equity, Senator, why don't you stand up and explain to people why wealthy mining companies cannot pay a tax but people on low incomes in this country should not get a tax break on their superannuation? Why don't you come into this chamber and explain to Australians why you protect wealthy mining companies but you will not stand up for low-income working Australians—3.6 million of them?
