Treasury Laws Amendment (Supporting Choice in Superannuation and Other Measures) Bill 2025

Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (10:49): One Nation is generally supportive of the intent of this bill to protect adults from superannuation rorts and misrepresentations. However, we are not supportive of the dishonest provisions. In February Senate estimates hearings I asked the office of the Governor-General about Equality Australia, because Australia's governor-general is supposed to be neutral and to not take political positions.

Senator McKim: I have a point of order on relevance. The question before the chair is Senator Faruqi's amendments in relation to DGR status and the prevention of DGR status for organisations that are engaged in facilitating illegal settlements in Palestine. It has nothing at all to do with Equality Australia.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR ( Senator Marielle Smith ): Yes, Senator McKim. Senator Roberts, we are currently at amendments (1) and (2) on sheet 3646. Are those the amendments you're seeking to speak to?

Senator ROBERTS: No, they are not. It's in general questions to the minister. I'll wait until these amendments have been moved.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: The question is that amendments (1) and (2) on sheet 3646 be agreed to.
