SUPERANNUATION IS NOT WORKING

If you wanted proof that Superannuation is not working then the figures below prove it. 👇

The percentage of people working longer has increased dramatically in the last two decades DESPITE compulsory Superannuation.

The argument put forward by Superannuation advocates is that the percentage of people on a pension has decreased because of superannuation.

This argument is false - if that was the case more people would have retired.

The latest ASFA figures show the median superannuation balance for women aged 60-64 is $174,644. This is well below the amount needed to go off a part pension of circa $333,000.

For men of the same age the median balance is $236,126 - still nowhere the amount needed to stop relying on the full pension of $733,500.

No median balance of any age group is anywhere near that proving superannuation is not working.

“Australia has seen a dramatic transformation of retirement over the past 20 years, with more Australians delaying retirement than ever before, reshaping expectations for later life.

This shift matters because it marks a fundamental change in how people transition out of the workforce — with important implications for financial security in later life.

The decision to retire is no longer driven purely by personal preference or age alone. It’s increasingly shaped by policy, housing wealth, super balances and whether someone can afford to stop working.

In 2003, about 70% of women and almost half of men aged 60–64 had fully retired from the workforce. Twenty years later, those numbers have fallen to 41% and 27% respectively. For people aged 65–69, retirement rates have also dropped – from 86% to 66% among women, and from 73% to 61% among men.”

With Australia’s housing market is in dire straits, 👇it is critical that Australians back the party with the best solutions to get Australia’s economy on track.

Not only does People First have policies to provide immediate cost of living relief, we will fix the structural imbalances in our economy.

We will crack down on capital flight by increasing taxes on profits sent offshore, reform capital controls to reduce household debt and establish an Infrastructure Bank to fund the construction of Infrastructure that encourage genuine productivity.

As you can see Australia has one of the highest household debt levels in the world. There is going to be a lot of pain going forward if house prices continue to fall which is why financial know how is more important than ever.

No other party has outlined an economic agenda as comprehensive as ours.

“Australia’s biggest bank has dramatically downgraded its property outlook, warning Sydney is facing one of its “quickest and deepest” housing crashes in at least 20 years.

Fresh analysis from Commonwealth Bank reveals national home prices are expected to plunge 9 per cent peak-to-trough, with Sydney and Melbourne copping the brunt of the downturn at 13 per cent and 12 per cent drops respectively.

“Housing market conditions have weakened considerably since our last forecast update on 3 June, three weeks after the Budget,” its report states.”

Whilst in WA I caught up with Cameron from The Hard Yarns Podcast where we discussed a range of issues.

One issue discussed was the recently passed ASIO bill that gave our intelligence agencies more unchecked powers than ever before.

This of course is the complete opposite of what a well functioning democracy should look like.

Instead of granting more unchecked powers to our bureaucrats, politicians should be holding them to account for their failure to protect the public.

The lies and the failures by ASIO are staggering - chemical weapons of mass destruction, Covid origins involving pangolins and raccoon dogs, fake terror attacks such as Dural politicised while real terror attacks such as Bondi went undetected.

And let’s not forget the politician who sold Australia out who is being protected by them.

You can watch the full interview at the link in comments.

If you want greater scrutiny and accountability of our intelligence agencies please sign up to PeopleFirstParty.au today.

Good politicians should protect the people not manipulate them.

Leave Health Insurance Alone

Earlier this year the Labor party introduced a nasty piece of legislation that will wind back health rebates for people aged over 65.

This is will make it much harder for Seniors to afford Health Insurance and push the cost onto State run public hospitals, thereby increasing pressure on both public hospitals to meet the extra demand while cutting valuable funding for Private Hospitals.

Not surprisingly even the Labor premiers have pushed back on this cruel policy.

It also highlights how dysfunctional our Federation is. We desperately need to reform the ambiguous responsibilities between State and Federal governments and eliminate the vertical fiscal imbalance.

It also highlights the need to a National Government Office to underwrite cheap health insurance to take pressure off public hospitals.

It’s typical of the major parties to impose cuts to services rather than fix systemic imbalances that our dysfunctional Federation has become.

People First is prepared to reform Federal State relations and establish a National Government Insurance Office. It’s time Governments focused on efficiencies to drive better outcomes not cuts.

“Critics have warned the federal government over its plan to wind back a private health rebate for over-65s amid fears the change could further inundate an already struggling public health system.

In April, Health Minister Mark Butler announced the Howard-era rebate – which set up an age-based tier system for subsidised private health care – would be replaced.”

When it comes to dealing with immigration, People First realises that it’s not enough to reduce the immigration rate, we need to keep it down.

The fact is immigration has been used to mask the structural imbalances in our economy, particularly around education, housing and foreign investment.

These imbalances need to be fixed if immigration is to remain low.

We need to draw inspiration from our own national anthem and the words “Wealth for Toil.”

We cannot keep importing workers whilst subsidising unproductive roles in bureaucracy, academia, renewables and gambling.

In the 1980’s 20% of school leavers went to University. That figure is over 50% today. In absolute terms that means that almost 100,000 young Australians per annum are delaying entering the workforce per year. Not only that, most of those University graduates enter the professions instead of the trades there is a massive loss of domestic skilled labor.

This has resulted in employers calling for high immigration instead of better more vocational focused education.

People First intends to address this imbalance by funding more apprenticeships particularly through the Military. We will also increase funding for health education to reduce the number of foreign Doctors and Nurses employed in Australia.

CLARITY AROUND IMMIGRATION MATTERS

This week we have seen all three major parties struggle to clarify their immigration policies.

Yesterday the Labor Party backed down on the number of refugees they are taking, the Liberal Party has no number at all and One Nation have changed their 130,000 number from net to gross meaning their immigration number is not much lower than the Uniparty.

People First has the most clear and concise policies of all political parties.

You can see our immigration policy at this link:

peoplefirstparty.au/policies/immigration/

As you can see, not only will we reduce immigration numbers by the most, we will also install better systems to track and limit immigration.

This is what sets People First apart from the others. We offer a systemic rational approach rather than an emotional incoherent approach to lowering immigration.

Key points of our policy are:

• cap permanent visas to 100,000

• cap student visas to 300,000 by increasing student visa fees to at least $20,000 to fund apprenticeships for Australians. This should reduce temporary visas by close to 500,000.

•decrease bridging visas numbers by almost 400,000 to almost zero by tracking all visas by sponsor, tax file number and expiry date. Sponsors who allow their visa holders to overstay will be fined.

•abolish the Indian migration and mobility treaty as the agreement is asymmetrical given India’s population and standard of living.

• expel visa holders with a criminal record.

• limit government entitlements

We believe these policies will reduce immigration for four to five years before overall immigration will flatten out to no more than 100,000.

Whereas other parties will tell you what you want to hear, we will actually deliver on our solutions.

IS AUSTRALIA FACING A SUBPRIME CRISIS?

This week a builder has collapsed with substantial debts of $3.2 billion dollars.

The impact of this will flow onto super and property funds and hurt innocent investors.

Let’s hope contagion does not set in. The major parties should have cracked down on the private credit sector years ago rather than appease vested interests.

This is why capital controls matter.

Private credit should not be unregulated as it allows reckless financial activity that end up hurting unsuspecting Australians.

People First is the only party willing to crack down on financial speculation through tighter capital controls.

“In an escalation of a global crisis that has been bubbling away all year, MA Financial, one of the country’s largest private credit investment managers has slapped severe limits on how much cash investors can pull out of its $2.3 billion secured property loan fund.

The move comes during a concerning week for the $200 billion Australian private credit industry, triggered by the collapse of major western Sydney-based home builder Bathla Group, which has plunged into voluntary administration, straining under a staggering $3.2 billion in debts.”

“Australia’s corporate and financial watchdog has warned the “first significant cracks” are opening up in the $2.5 trillion private credit sector — something almost all adult Australians are exposed to — as an economist warns things are about to get “very ugly”.

Private credit is used by businesses to access funds when they can’t access them from a traditional bank. If a business is deemed too risky, too indebted, or just needs money faster than a bank can approve it, they turn to private credit funds.

Because traditional banks are heavily regulated and restricted from lending to risky, highly indebted developers, those developers turn to the shadow banking world of private credit.”

So there’s a new data centre proposed for Dalby that is going to rely on rain water harvesting to source its water supply.

As someone who has watched farmers have to give up their irrigation licences to “save the environment” how is it that a foreign owned company is going to be allowed to “harvest” water but farmers can’t?

This is a classic example of one rule for wealthy foreigners and another one hard working Australians.

There had better be a lot more transparency around exactly how much water this data centre is going to harvest and what impact will it have on downstream communities like my hometown of Chinchilla!

On top of that Blackout Bowen is insisting Data Centres are powered by renewables rather than coal. Of course this is preposterous as Kogan Creek power station is just down the road from the proposed site. Kogan Creek sits on 400 million tonnes of coal and has a vacant pad for another turbine.

Why would anyone destroy valuable farmland with renewables. It’s just madness.

The obsession with renewables needs to end. People First will abolish all subsidies for renewables and require environmental bonds to paid on existing sites.

“A development application prepared for Zerra DC has been lodged for the Western Downs Digital Park. Once constructed, it will be considered one of Australia’s largest data centres, located at 1933 Dalby–Kogan Road, Kogan (35 km from Dalby).

The data centres would primarily use air-cooled technology, supported by a closed-loop liquid cooling system using rainwater harvesting and treated wastewater.

An on-site battery-backed power conditioning system would also support the development’s electricity requirements and strengthen the local power network. The site’s proximity to existing energy infrastructure is identified as a key factor in its suitability for the development.

I’m enjoying the beautiful weather in Western Australia this week where I am attending a number of events in Perth and surrounds.

Details are via this link: wa.pfp.org.au/events/

I will outline why People First has the solutions for today and the vision for tomorrow.

In particular I will talk about our key policies that include:

• Cutting income tax by $4,000
• Paying childcare directly to parents
•letting workers keep their superannuation
• Increasing taxes on profits sent offshore (to fund more tax cuts here)
• Reforming monetary policy to encourage productivity not speculation

If you are in WA I would love to see you at one of our events

Well well well.

The Labor party now want to stop people from pulling their super out of industry or retail funds so they can manage it themselves through SMSF’s.

Meanwhile Industry funds can blow up billions of dollars on dodgy foreign venture capital investments or invest members funds in places like India.

It’s time to allow people to manage their own savings. Australia had one of the highest rates of home ownership and much lower household debt before superannuation was created.

It’s time to face the facts that Labor want to control your savings so they can control you!

“The Tax Office will be given the power to veto people from moving money from a large super fund into a self-managed superannuation fund, under sweeping changes announced by Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino on Wednesday.

The changes will also require SMSF trustees to pass “basic knowledge requirements”, maintain a “uniquely identifiable bank account”, pre-write their investment strategy and force newly established SMSFs to disclose whether a financial adviser was involved in their establishment and the fees charged.”

“AustralianSuper, the country’s largest superannuation fund, has been forced to write off more than $1.1 billion in equity and loans tied to an American online education start-up, marking it as its single worst investment in venture capital.

The fund, which manages $341 billion in retirement savings for more than 3 million people, has aggressively expanded its investments in private credit and private equity, including in the United States. But it has worn a loss of $US757 million on Pluralsight, an Utah-based video training firm once valued at more than $US5 billion.”
