Super hysterical: the ludicrous beat-up over superannuation tax changes
Manage episode 485408916 series 1994138
Superannuation is meant to help all Australians have a comfortable retirement, not help the very wealthiest pay less tax.

This discussion was recorded on Tuesday 28 May 2025 and things may have changed.
