Episode The numbers behind One Nation’s super plan
One Nation wants Australians paying rent or a mortgage to take more of their superannuation home now - but what could that cost them later?
The proposal has ignited a political fight, with One Nation Treasury spokesperson Barnaby Joyce arguing people should be trusted with their own money.
But behind the rhetoric are much bigger economic questions about retirement balances, inflation, interest rates and Australia’s $4.4 trillion super system.
ABC Business Editor Michael Janda and ABC Business Correspondent David Taylor unpack what One Nation is actually proposing, what we learned from the COVID-era experiment with early super access - and whether the numbers behind this latest pitch stack up - on ABC Business Daily.
