I hope everyone who reads Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill's arrogant, self-serving proclamations takes a bloody good look at what Woodside are doing & tell Labor to reject Woodside's North West Shelf Extension & companion Browse-to-North-West-Shelf gas project
Woodside are the proponents of the massively-polluting, Murujuga rock art-destroying North West Shelf gas extension
Woodside make fat profits from spewing pollution, harming the environment & Indigenous cultural heritage (& have a troubling safety record)

How absurd are complaints against the super changes?
Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000.
So they earned $250,000 in a year.
Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability.
How much? $2,884.
That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

Selling super tax changes will require a steadfast advocacy from decades past
The reforms of the 80s and 90s, often sentimentalised by people who weren't there, came about through a mixture of policy intelligence and political rat cunning.
