    Totally agree.
    We are being governed by a bunch of monkeys whose second priority is to introduce policy change regardless of whethrt the existing system works well already.
    Their first priority is to substantiate their existence as a politician accumulating units in an over generous public super fund. Why on earth would they be concerned about Australians super when it has no relativity to their own super entitlements.

    Stuart Robert is my local member. When asked for his thoughts he refers to Liberal Policy documents. So a party drone and a minor crook. Remember the reason he left the front bench in the first place? If this is the best the liberals can put in charge god help us all.
