Yet the Whitlam Government will always be remembered instead for its hugely significant policy legacy.

But payday super means problems get caught immediately, and helps tackle the problem of unpaid super.

Paying super on payday is part of the Albanese Labor Government's work to ensure Australians earn more, keep more of what they earn, and retire with more as well.

Until now, employers only needed to pay super quarterly. That meant unpaid or underpaid super could hide for months before anyone notices.

And although most employers do the right thing, the Australian Taxation Office estimates $5.2 billion worth of super went unpaid in 2021–22.

On top of this, we’ve added super to Paid Parental Leave, because no one should be penalised for taking time off to raise a family.

Labor built super to give you comfort and security in your retirement. We will always defend it.

Right now, employers only need to pay super quarterly. But when your super is paid earlier and more often it has more time to grow.

It also makes it easier to catch errors, so you can make sure you’re getting the super you deserve.
