Look, what it is is it's a a very, I think, clever pitch actually by Pauline Hansen and One Nation because you're right, it's all about dealing with the real issues that households and people are uh having right now, which is the fact that they're suffering a massive cost of living crisis.
Their basic pitch is if you're paying rent or mortgage, so basically everyone who really isn't retired essentially.
That's going to cover most people.
You can redirect three percent of your twelve percent superannuation guarantee contribution to yourself.
So you can basically say, look, we want to take three percent now.
Maximum of three years, apparently you can do it.
Although, you know, with the thing like this, they say a maximum of three years, but it'd probably continue on and on.
It's a type of policy that once you set in place, you
Yeah.
And so it's all about essentially giving Australians that money now.
And yeah, we're talking perhaps around forty-four dollars a week or so for sort of an average income earner.
So so essentially what she's saying is, okay, we'll give you some money now, because now's when you need it.
Don't worry about retirement, all be good by then.
And the real problem with that is that
Essentially is robbing yourself from later to pay yourself now and it doesn't end up in a good situation.
It has problems both now and in the future.
Yeah, look, it it definitely would be inflationary because we know from what happened during the COVID years when the Morrison government did allow people to take out some of their super if they needed to, that a lot of people did, and they took out as much as they could.
So the likelihood is that this will be a fairly popular scheme and that many people would do it.
That is introducing a lot more.
money into the economy and it comes at a time when the Reserve Bank, rightly or wrongly, is saying that uh we're spending too much money at the moment.
