Labor’s 2025 plan to change superannuation tax concessions for wealthy Australians is Anthony Albanese’s “Julia Gillard moment”, says Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews.
Her comments follow the government’s announcement on Wednesday to double taxes on super accounts holding over $3 million – despite Labor’s pre-election promise there would be “no changes” to super. “This is Albanese’s Julia Gillard moment where she said there would be no carbon tax under any government she leads,” Ms Andrews told Sky News Australia.
