Reactive, populist super tax grab no match for real reform
Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ proposed levy on unrealised gains in super funds isn’t reform, it’s our home-grown equivalent to “Liberation Day”: reactive, populist and a money grab as a budget filler, write University of Technology Sydney's Rob Prugue and Lorenzo Casavecchia. Reform is indeed needed, but one which equally builds a moat around our $4 trillion super from self-serving political grabs from both sides of the political fence.
