Agree completely TB.

I don't know what the government has planned, but they are certainly talking about superannuation since putting a 15% GST in the too hard basket.

One thing is for certain. If they do start tinkering with super, any changes will likely hit those with large nest eggs, and those with large incomes stuffing as much into super as they can before retirement, the most. Any change will most certainly not benefit this cohort.

If I were a couple of years out from retirement, I'd certainly be taking the bird in the hand.
