Today, economist Greg Jericho on the growing political fight over what our super should actually be for.
matched
It's Wednesday, September ninth.
matched
Greg, the case that Pauline Hansen is making here around Super is simple, right?
matched
She's saying people are struggling with their rent and their mortgage, so why not let them take home a little bit more of their money now?
matched
Um, what's wrong with that idea?
matched
Okay.
matched
And there's been a lot of talk about this being potentially inflationary.
matched
Uh one nation's argument is that not everyone will take this up.
matched
So
matched
realistically, I mean, how much difference would this make or could this make to inflation?
matched
So if we were to take this pitch at at face value, that's three years of reduced super contributions, what would the impact of that be on the average person's super in retirement?
matched
Mm.
matched
And there's no guardrails proposed, is there around people actually spending it on their mortgage or rent?
matched
Because I mean, we saw with COVID when people had access to super, you know, they spent it on all sorts of things.
matched
Still to come, the coalition's controversial plans for Asupa.
matched
Greg, there is this kind of strange twist here.
matched
It turns out that the coalition under Susan Lee had already developed almost this exact policy.
matched
Um, and in one respect I think theirs went even further.
matched
So tell me about what they were considering.
matched
Yeah, well we heard Andrew Bragg, the opposition's shadow housing minister, calling One Nation's plan just a a start.
