QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (14:47): Minister, I can understand you're very embarrassed by this. It's very hypocritical that you are actually trying to make out that it's got absolutely nothing to do with this. Political staff— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Please resume your seat, Senator Hanson.

Order on my right! I once again remind the chamber that Senator Hanson has the right to put her question in silence. Please continue, Senator Hanson.

Senator HANSON: Political staff are probably doing much better than the average Australian, probably because they can get a 3.4 per cent super pay boost. Why does your government give the staff of politicians and Treasurer Jim Chalmers the flexibility with superannuation that you refuse to give to many Australians doing it tough?
