Panel two: the three pink people are now in a room of their own, and they say, “okay we will make our own place.”

Panel three: The gray people say, “why are you excluding us”. The pink people say, “oh no”

The proposal to reduce the tax concessions on earnings in superannuation balances *above* $3m is a good policy that restores a small measure of fairness to the system. It would affect around 80,000 people - or the top 0.5%. The govt should proceed with the changes & push for a fairer tax system.
