SenateMonday 7 September 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (14:45): Minister, One Nation has never advocated to get rid of superannuation. Minister, your government calls Australian super a 'national asset'— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'm sorry, Senator Hanson; please resume your seat. Senator Hanson has the right to put her question in silence.

Please continue, Senator Hanson. Senator HANSON: One Nation says, 'It is their money.' Our plan is voluntary. It lasts for only three years, applies only to future contributions and leaves existing super untouched.

Labor thinks Australian super belongs to the government instead of the people who earned it. Are you planning to dip into Australian super funds to pay down your trillion-dollar debt?
