My concern is the idea that the employer pays and the super component is scrappedIt is, and most other OECD nations including some of the famous Nordic countries.
One of the ideas behind it is that it would cushion the shock of going from working to living off Centrelink, and the six-month cliff would provide an incentive to find some sort of work before your rate drops dramatically. Does that help people who can't find stable suitable work or who employers don't seem to want (people over 55 for example)? Nope.
It feels like the government wants to move away from funding this idea
As to your last point it doesn't affect long term unemployed as there shouldn't be a "bill shock" component
It does put working over 55s in a "take this pay cut or else" position
