Thanks for the clarification on after-tax contributions.

I forgot to mention in the earlier post that the 3 months applies to salary sacrifice, as well as super guarantee contributions.

7 Helicopters over Brisbane

I live in Brisbane. On Friday 26th about 15:00 a formation of 7 flew over my house. Looked like civil types including 2 x R44s. Can anyone tell me what the occasion was ? Thanks.
