Quite true, however KRudd is merely following his predecessors. This has been festering for some time and unfortunately looks like it will continue to do so.
This is exactly why I contribute the bare legal minimum to my military superannuation fund (MSBS), but salary sacrifice the maximum amount to another fund.
BTW, thanks KRudd for reducing the maximum amount I can salary sacrifice to superannuation from $50,000 p.a. to $25,000 p.a. Do you actaully want people to be self funded in their retirements? Typical short-sighted Labour government.
