Chalmers Defends Super Against Early Access Push | Sydney News

Treasurer Jim Chalmers is fiercely defending Australia’s compulsory super system, warning that proposals to ease early access to the $5 trillion retirement fund would devastate millions of workers’ futures. While Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg and One Nation’s Pauline Hanson push for greater flexibility—suggesting super could help with housing or hardship—Chalmers calls it an attack on retirement security and accuses opponents of being anti-worker. He insists existing hardship exemptions are sufficient, while Coalition figures like Jane Hume pivot to housing concerns and acknowledge past policy considerations. Chalmers’ message is clear: no major changes to super rules, no matter the pressure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
