And for a lot of people, that's an extra 12% that their employers have to pay into their super on top of their pre-tax wage.
The policy that OneNation's describing, where it would essentially be taking 3%, about a quarter of that super, and rather than it going into this super, which is blocked off, you can't access it until you retire, it would go straight into your bank account.
You'd still receive that concessional tax rate, you'd pay less tax on it, but you would have access to that money now.
It would be available to anyone who rents or has a mortgage and they could do it for three years.
Now, on the face of it, it seems like, okay, well, people need money now, and we're giving them access to their own money now.
What's wrong with that?
Speaking of retirement, uh the other big headline that's been coming out of this is that Barnaby Joyce, who's the Treasury spokesperson for One Nation, revealed that there actually wasn't any economic modelling when this policy was created.
I just wanna quickly play you a clip of his response when he was asked about that on seven thirty.
I guess what he went on to say and what the at the end of the day he was saying that how much modelling is needed if this is about people making decisions about their own money and giving people control over their own money.

It feels like a strange paternalistic question to ask, but I think it's worth asking.
We've talked a lot about the risks to individuals and individual finances, but I guess we also saw from the um COVID era Morrison policy of allowing people to dip into their supers that about three million Australians took out about thirty-eight billion in total from their super, and that that will eventually cost taxpayers about eighty-five billion by the end of the century.
So it's not small money we're talking.
about.
What about the cost when it comes to people requiring a pension later on?
I know that Australia has a very low pension rate largely because of the superannuation system.
We'll be right back.
yourself president for life, that's
So if One Nation's super policy was adopted tomorrow, would it actually ease the cost of living pressures and create more homeowners, make it easier to buy a home, as One Nation claims?
