Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes. They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year! Yep a $1.18m increase. How much extra tax? $1,528! OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

Assuming it is $3.1 million, with the $80,000 pension payment it becomes $3.18 million. If your balance on June 30, 2026, is greater than $3 million (say $3.1 million) then Division 296 tax will count a balance of $3.18 million in its calculations even if your balance at the start of the year was less than $3 million (in your case $2 million)

One aspect of Division 296 tax where you have a greater than $3 million balance at the end of the year but a balance of less than $3 million at the start is that it will be calculated as if your year started with a $3 million balance.

When determining your super earnings for Division 296 tax purposes you add together your year-end balance with pension payments and then deduct your balance at the start of the year from this. That’s $3.1 million plus $80,000 less $3 million. This will give you total super earnings for Division 296 purposes of $180,000.

Despite the large increase in your fund from $2 million to $3.1 million, your Division 296 liability will be significantly less given it won’t include the increase in your total super below the $3 million threshold. The 15 per cent tax will only apply to the percentage that $180,000 represents of $3.18 million or 5.66 per cent.

While 15 per cent of $180,000 is $27,000, 5.66 per cent of this results in a Division 296 tax liability of $1528.

This assumes there is no change in the proposed tax when – and if – it finally becomes law.

Think you might one day have $3m in your super & be affected by the super tax changes? Ok, you are 18yo, you just got a job - it pays... $150k! Give yourself a 3.7% annual pay rise. Never take time off for study, kids or illness. You will retire with $3,017,016 moneysmart.gov.au/how-super-wo...

What kind of society finds it acceptable that 150 people can hoard $600 billion while millions live in or on the edge of poverty? The Greens are fighting back. We'll tax the billionaires to pay for a better life for all Australians. 💚

Without Labor’s Fee-Free TAFE, Molly wouldn’t be able to study nursing right now. And that’s exactly why we’re making it free TAFE permanent, nationwide – to give more Australians the opportunity to gain skills and get ahead.

Jasmyne always wanted to be a nurse, like her mum. Now she’s able to study nursing – fee free, thanks to Labor. We need more nurses to care for our loved ones, so it makes sense to make it easier for people like Jasmyne to gain skills through TAFE. That’s why Free TAFE is here to stay with Labor.

Our government maintains these complicated punishment systems so that it can say that people receiving welfare are fulfilling their “mutual obligations”. Mutual obligation is a big lie: it’s not mutual, and there is no obligation for the government to hold its side of the deal

It can be a sneaky way into a degree that you’d otherwise struggle to get into. I started with tafe and ended up with a masters degree. And you get the practical training you don’t normally get with a degree. That might put it in a positive light. Good luck!

TAFE has been changing lives for decades. That’s why Labor introduced Fee-Free TAFE, to make it easier for people like Jeremy to train, upskill and get ahead. Already, more than 500,000 fee-free places have been taken up.
