FET #31: Where is the 'abolish superannuation' lobby?

from Fresh Economic Thinking · host Cameron Murray

It costs $30 billion a year in fees alone and takes 11% of wages as a non-tax compulsory payment from families at the time they need the money most, yet there is no lobby group seeking to scrap the wasteful superannuation system. Cameron and Jonathan discuss how interest groups sprung up around the super honeypot, and contemplate how to form such an anti-super lobby.
