Barnaby Joyce says One Nation would maintain the 12 per cent minimum superannuation contribution if the party was to form government.
One Nation has suggested Australians experiencing financial hardship should be able to apply for early access to superannuation.
Speaking to News24, Joyce says super funds should be invested in projects that will generate the best return for customers.
"Your super is safe with One Nation. Your super is at risk with the Labor Party and don't judge it on the rhetoric of Jim Chalmers or of anyone else, judge it on their record," Joyce says.
Moving back briefly to the arrival of China's newly appointed ambassador to Australia, who flew into Sydney yesterday.
In his rather positive and upbeat statement on arrival, Liu Jinsong stresses there are "no historical grievances" and "no fundamental conflicts of interests" between Australia and China.
China's political culture is very different to Australia's, and Chinese officials can sometimes strike Australians as slightly rigid and formal.
But the new ambassador seems determined to project an open and approachable image, at least in his first statement, which stresses the importance of the "personal bonds" between the two countries.
The new ambassador also mentions that he's been to Australia before, says he has a "passion for exploring this land and connecting with its people" and mentions that he travelled to Canberra by bus rather than by plane or car.
"This time, I travelled by bus from Sydney to Canberra, chatting and enjoying myself with ordinary Australians," he said.
"Good relations between countries depend on the affinity between their people."
Australian officials say they are dismayed by the Trump administration's ongoing assault on the International Criminal Court (ICC), despite federal government ministers remaining silent on the move.
The government has also been quietly maintaining contact with Australians working at the ICC who might be targeted by future US sanctions, after Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed to ramp up his campaign to "dismantle" the court.
