i can currently see no justification of any tax, for any reason, to be applied to retirement phase accounts.
my thoughts are that the guvnut had their swing of the bat when they introduced the Total Balance Transfer (TBC). that was the point in time when they said "these $$" are what you require for ur retirement with tax free earnings moving forwards.... but, you will havta take out some % every year as a mandatory drawdown. simples.... not tax, but no more cash in.
accumulation accounts i see differently...... but if the investment criteria/taxation are changed for superannuation then i expect that the member should have a choice to amend/cancel what their investment is (ie. take money back out or whatever because the "terms of the investment" has been changed).
