QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (14:42): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Australians are being crushed by rent, mortgages, groceries, power bills, petrol and insurance under this government. Under One Nation's three per cent super pay boost, a worker earning $90,500 could get an extra $44 a week by choosing to take three per cent of their future super contributions as take-home pay.

Their existing super stays untouched. It is limited to three years. Minister, it is their money.

If Australians are struggling to pay their rent or mortgage, why won't you let them use a small part of it now?
