SenateMonday 3 November 2025

Treasury Laws Amendment (Payday Superannuation) Bill 2025, Superannuation Guarantee Charge Amendment Bill 2025

Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (19:55): Yes, I can. As you pointed out, we just supported the second reading amendment. It is a commitment of the Labor government to do these reforms.

Stapling and ad ban reforms will support the payday super reforms. However, they are important in their own regard as separate policies. These reforms are no longer part of this package, as you point out, and the government is intending to introduce the relevant legislation in a separate package in time for the payday super reforms to be enacted on 1 July.

We're in the hands of the parliament, but they will be introduced with enough time for them to be in place by 1 July.
