Yeah well given just how loving hard it is to actually buy a drat place in anything that looks vaguely like a city I can see that being popular to voters.

Yup. Hell, we just bought our first home and despite knowing it's a poo poo policy if I could have put super moneys towards it I probably would have been seriously tempted.

Most middle aged people are reliant on super for retirement though right? I'm struggling to think who would vote for this besides retirees who already got their payouts.

Depends. Super was only introduced in the 1990s, was slowly phased up to the 9.5% mandatory contributions, and as such a lot of older soon-to-be retirees don't have much of it, especially women, who don't accrue super while on unpaid maternity leave, earn less while working part time upon returning to work, and also earn less in general. Like most features of our economic system, it overwhelmingly favours educated white men with a much greater capacity to earn.

So you got quite a few soon-to-be retirees with like 150k stashed. Not enough to do much other than top up the pension a bit.

Conversely, aspirational HENRY types who have a load of super probably also have a load of liquid capital already, and would love to get access to their super NOW so they can throw it all into property or bitcoins or whatever dumb rear end cash cow they can find.

I know somebody who is thrilled about the idea of voluntary super because, in her words "I can manage my own money if they'd just give it to me!", and she's somehow under the belief that employers would pay their staff the difference out of the kindness of their hearts.

There's no reasoning with some people.

Blow her mind by telling her about this one little secret that not many people know about called self managed super funds.

Is this dude just complaining that Anglicans cant be legally protected from discriminating against everyone else. He mentions that the bill would stop Christian organizations from preferencing other Christians for positions, but complains that companies could discriminate by making speaking about religion unnaceptable at work. Does that include stopping people from telling all the gays at the office that they're hosed and are going to burn.

The bishop of the Anglican Archdiocese of Sydney is some sort of hyper-CHUD, because of course he is. He's the one who donated 1M to the No campaign during the SSM debacle, while most of the other bishops were saying "eh it's 2019 ffs".

Caught between two worlds...
i am beholden by my ancestors (who were chinese-jewish-british during the height of white australia and our family is scarred by it to this day) to say this over and over

china is currently hosed, but please do not transfer your anger at the nation of china toward chinese people currently in australia. yes a small minority may be spies, but the majority have come to australia for a reason, they love it, they have no desire to harm it, and they are fantastic people. also you, personally, can't visually tell the difference between a tourist from beijing and a 5th-generation chinese-australian who feels no loyalty to the chinese government and is immune to their propaganda. asian-australians are some of the kindest and most freedom-loving people i've ever met. please don't succumb to the propaganda in australia, which is just as strong as the stuff coming from china, trying to make you hate asian people
