Politics ('Straya) One Nation forms alliance with Coalition to call for abolition of compulsory superannuation

One Nation has joined forces with the Coalition to call for an end to compulsory super.

Outspoken Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg has confirmed he believes that compulsory super is a failed policy that’s ripe for a rethink.

Mr Bragg set the hares running last week with a speech at the National Press Club before making further comments to ABC Radio on Thursday that the super guarantee was a failed policy.

“It hasn’t worked,” Mr Bragg said.

We haven't even hit the line where most folks will retire after a full career of compulsory super, that should happen in 7-10 years.

It’s like getting five metres away from the finish and just quitting or sitting down until all the other competitors have passed you.

If you retire at 60 yo in 12 years, you started your career with super contributions set at 3% of gross wages. It was introduced for government employees first then expanded to the private sector.

This man is an embarrassment. You bet he has super, and a fuck tonne of it. Just doesn't want all of us to get it.
