The ALP federal government made key announcements on superannuation policy in October 2012, April 2013, May 2013 and in July 2013. While the Liberal Party/Nationals have responded to these announcements with its own version of superannuation policies, and rejection of some policies, and even acceptance of some of the government's policies.

ALP: As the political party in power, the Australian Labor Party clearly has the runs on the board in terms of superannuation policies but they have also made some whopper boo-boos along the way.

The Liberals/National Party: The Coalition seems to be struggling with the concept of superannuation. The Coalition has lost a lot of their super knowledge over recent years with the retirement of many senior MPs, including Peter Costello, who was the architect of the 2007 changes that brought in tax-free super for over-60s

Super = Save shit regularly for your retirement. Simples.
Super policy = It's your money except we'll only let you deposit it, invest it and extract it on our terms. These terms change frequently because we have "policy".
Super industry = Fee$, fee$, fee$. More compulsory super is good for the people. Fee$, fee$, fee$.
Super commentators = Umm. Is good, right? <wipe drool off chin> Yeah, what he said!

Super as physical metal = when Govt tries to steal life savings;

1) pull up stumps, do a runner to tropical island/tax haven nation (via land or sea i.e. not airports)

2) convert superannuation metal into local currency in dribbs & drabbs as needed to fund retirement as it was intended for all along

Ok

1)An Island can't be accessed by land.
2)Do you all have a boat and the capabilities to sail/steam open ocean?
3)Port Vila Vanuatu is the closest port to Australia that is Tax Free and has a serious customs facility/resource by virtue of the historic French/British co governance before independence.

I still call Bullshit as you will never do it.It's just keyboard carrot spanking.
