Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:27): It is just a pity that you will not give the same commitment. It is just a pity, Mr President, that those opposite, and Senator Cormann, will not give the same commitment. It is just amazing that those opposite are asking a question on superannuation, when the Leader of the Opposition has personally committed to increasing taxes on 3.6 million Australian low-paid workers. It is just outrageous. But it is even more extraordinary when those opposite have form on this issue. When it comes to superannuation and the whole principles that underpin our superannuation system— Senator Cormann: Mr President, I rise on a point of order in relation to the requirement for the minister to be directly relevant to the question. He is giving a speech on his perspective on coalition policy. I asked him a question about whether or not the government could rule out increases in super taxes on super earnings and further reductions in concessional contribution caps. It was a very specific question. I did not ask him any questions about coalition policies; I asked him a question about government policy and whether, given the Prime Minister's statements yesterday where she was able to rule out certain taxes, he can rule out further taxes. The PRESIDENT: Senator Conroy, you do need to address the question in the time remaining. Senator CONROY: It was a very broad-ranging question and the point of order was probably the longest on record. But, Mr President, when it comes to taxes on superannuation and when it comes to ruling things in or out, what I can rule out categorically is that this government will not tax 3.6 million Australian low-paid workers like those opposite are planning to do.
