Make superannuation progressive (at GetUp!)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 17/06/2011 - 10:44pm

Although the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) is mandated by the Federal Government, it isn't classified as a tax because it isn't paid to the Government...

In all other respects, however, Australia's federally mandated, employer-funded 9% superannuation contribution is equivalent to a federally-FUNDED 9% contribution (whereby the highest-paid workers get the biggest subsidies to their saving), financed by a 9% federal payroll tax (which is regressive and inefficient...)...

Kevin 11 Get the t-Shirt

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 17/06/2011 - 1:56pm

Locking up Indonesian children in adult Australian jails: Mandatory detention claims more victims

Submitted by Flowerpower on Wed, 15/06/2011 - 11:10pm

Mandatory detention is claiming more victims than most Australians realise, it is not just the six and half thousand folk seeking Asylum, having fled war and devastation and the direst of circumstances and are now incarcerated in Australia's mandatory detention network - 24 concentration-like facilities on our soil - we are also incarcerating the poorest of folk and youth from Indonesia in our gaols.
