That's because the Lefties are too dumb to realise they can make voluntary
contributions to Super themselves. Noone's stopping them. Instead they
prefer to back an unmanageable, feel good, Kumbayah, socialist agenda and
not only to back it, but to force their misguided ideas onto everyone else
who has a brain.

Oh yes of course it's a bad idea... because the Coalition didn't say it.
Isn't that how things work down there at 7% Headquarters?

The Coalition doesn't want workers to be self reliant and look after their
own retirement. That is the reason the Labor party had to start compulsery
super.

Gosh LJH, your headline couldn't survive the first line of your story,
unless you are claiming that 'nearly one in two Australians' are lefty
unions AND that reconfiguring the tax cuts partly as super is
'stealing' them. Theft involves an attempt to permanently deprive
someone of something they possess, but super eventually gets paid with
interest.

A *right wing* union with a pro-Israel leader ...

Which means that a majority of the principal beneficiaries in terms of
the value of the cut think it's a good idea.

Actually, if you read your own post, it's a Roy Morgan Poll.
