| Answer | In June 2006 I made a contribution into my super
fund so I could qualify for the Governments Co-

statement that shows my contribution but there is
no record of the Govt amount. Is there something I
need to do to apply for this? PM, Kilsyth |
| Answer | There seems to be on enormous amount of attention being placed on superannuation at present.
