Well then...
Why has Malcolm Turnbull come to the defence of Triggs and the report?
Why has the Government's attitude to Triggs and the report received widespread condemnation, from people of all political persuasions? From many in the media?
Not even the putative PM considers it partisan judging by his comments today.
Kudos to Triggs for standing her ground and making Brandis become a further figure of fun. I imagine taking the line of least resistance and walking would have been attractive to her thereby allowing Brandis to instal the puppet he so dearly yearned for.
As I said rusted on lefties and the heroes of the left

Agreed.
Some at least need the money directly given to them as some have no option other than to live away from home for studying and job hunting purposes, and some parents can't be trusted with the money.
Now who is the real BIG.GOV?

You do know that the real rich don't put money into Super. They have their money locked up in company holdings, family trusts, and other tax effective ways of shielding their wealth from the government. The only ones that will be affected by changes to super are the working class and the Middle class. These people always pay the most taxes.
Family Trusts are a neat evasion too. As are a multiplicity of other schemes. One of which is personal super. If you don't reckon the mega rich use them too in certain circumstances then you either don't have a good accountant or he's pulling the wool over your eyes.
The Liberals will give to the rich and take from the poor.
Labor will give to the poor and take from nobody.
That's all you need to know about any welfare reform that will happen in Australia.

Why would you criticise the lower tax rate on super? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there already an issue of too many people relying on a pension because their super wasn't big enough?
I would have thought that saving for retirement would be encouraged. It would duly benefit the retiree and not weigh down the govt.

That was the intention in theory, and it's a worthy goal.
But in practice, and the figures are in, it is predominantly only high wealth individuals that take advantage of it to build their own personal super savings, but they aren't the ones going to qualify for an aged pension anyway. I don't have any links quickly to hand, but I heard some economist chap on the radio last week saying that the taxation forgone on super tax concessions is almost as great as what we spend on the aged pensions, for no net benefit because those people aren't eligible for pensions anyway, and those that are can't take advantage of it.
