    Hi Occam,
    We will just have to disagree on the concessional tax treatment of super.
    But imagine investing $85 dollars, rather than $50 (what you have after the tax concession), and paying 15% tax on the earnings rather than 50%. Then paying no tax on earnings or withdrawals after age 60 , if retired, up to a 1.6mill cap.

    I would disagree with your opinion on an even bigger reaction with further meddling. The fc changes were a dogs breakfast, violating both horizontal and vertical tax equity.
    BUT,
    if the 1st 50 to 60k of withdrawals were tax free, the majority of people would be unaffected. Guess how much they will care about those that have more than them?
    It will happen, if only because anything else is unsustainable.
    My bet would be on the libs eventually being the '' culprits '' that bring it about.
    I would agree with you on no tax going in, tax on the way out being the best system, with caps. But that horse bolted long ago, virtually impossible to alter the system to that now.
