Government threw ‘fuel on the fire’ of super debate after ‘uncomfortable’ interviewThe government has thrown “fuel on the fire” of the superannuation tax debate as both the Treasurer and Prime Minister fronted the media to defend the underestimated backlash, according to Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
