The AFR's attack on the changes to how super will be taxed is glorious. In this example, they cite someone going from a super balance of $3.5m to $4m.
And having to pay $18,750 (3.75%) in tax on that $500,000. "Ouch"
They also make it clear the person did NOTHING to earn an extra $500,000

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

FALSE. The fastest growing homeless group ISN’T women aged 50+. It’s women in their prime working ages (35-44) and children. Sadly, census data offers the most comprehensive measure of homelessness and the latest data is from 2021. Australia’s homelessness crisis is undercutting the future of us.

America under Trump is assiduously destroying its universities on a false premise of fighting antisemitism; our own universities are at risk of doing it to themselves. Either way, a society without academic freedom is not free at all.

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.
