With the release of the Labor\u2019s draft legislation today the Greens reconfirm their intentions to use their Senate balance of power to facilitate the government\u2019s superannuation tax reforms, if they will commit to paying superannuation on PPL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greens leader in the Senate and spokesperson on Women, Larissa Waters<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Government\u2019s superannuation tax proposal is such a timid proposed change to the tax concessions the obscenely wealthy receive. If Labor is not going to improve it, the least they can do is put the revenue to good use for the legions of women retiring into poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLabor has said repeatedly that they want super paid on paid parental leave \u2018when budget circumstances permit\u2019. The expected revenue from its proposed changes to super is more than enough to cover the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Greens have said we will facilitate the government\u2019s superannuation tax reforms if they will commit to paying superannuation on PPL. We likewise stand ready to expedite super on PPL through any other bill that the government produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLabor is making women wait for minor measures like paying super on PPL that would immediately improve economic equality, but can somehow find $313 billion for the Stage 3 tax cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe government has now received the final Women\u2019s Economic Equality Taskforce (WEET) report, but we\u2019re still waiting to see a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Greens will be pushing to ensure Labor actually listens to the WEET\u2019s advice – on PPL and all other areas of women\u2019s economic security – rather than cherry picking recommendations as they did with the interim report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe will use our balance of power in the Senate to get outcomes for families and for the women in Australia retiring with 23 per cent less superannuation than men.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the release of the Labor\u2019s draft legislation today the Greens reconfirm their intentions to use their Senate balance of power to facilitate the government\u2019s superannuation tax reforms, if they will commit to paying superannuation on PPL.
