The Politics of Super!

With the first Rudd Government budget some change to former Coalition Government’s initiatives to bolster superannuation could have been expected.  The thrust of the first Rudd Government budget is supportive, for the moment, of the Simplified Super measures. 

This bears out the Minister for Superannuation, Senator Nick Sherry’s pre-budget announcement that the government’s short-term approach to super will be to monitor rather than change.  So some very significant Coalition Government superannuation initiatives remain.
