Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes.

They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year!

Yep a $1.18m increase.

How much extra tax?

$1,528!

OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

Think you might one day have $3m in your super & be affected by the super tax changes?

Ok, you are 18yo, you just got a job - it pays... $150k!
Give yourself a 3.7% annual pay rise.
Never take time off for study, kids or illness.

You will retire with $3,017,016
