Give them their money’: Pauline Hanson calls for end to compulsory super   :(



News.com.au
August 16, 2026


Pauline Hanson has opened the door to an end to compulsory super, suggesting low-income earners would be better off taking the money now as a pay rise.   

One Nation has previously called for workers to be able to unlock their superannuation funds to buy a family home - with caveats.

The Australian superannuation system currently holds over $4 trillion in total retirement assets, making Australia a global superpower in retirement savings.

Speaking on News24, Senator Hanson said she was open to radical options, including rethinking the entire super guarantee that requires employers to pay 12 per cent on top of salaries into super funds.

“Look, there’s a lot in that one with compulsory superannuation,’’ Senator Hanson said.

“A lot of Australians are doing it tough now and struggling to pay their mortgages.

“In some ways, I feel that you should give them their money now and let them help them with the cost of living. It is their money; they’ve sacrificed it in lieu of pay.

“So, in a lot of cases, people want it.”

Echoing Liberal frontbencher Andrew Bragg’s concerns, she said that the super system wasn’t resulting in the reduction of people claiming the aged pension that had been expected.


“It was supposed to be for in later years, so the government didn’t have to pay out full age pensions to these people,’’ she said.

“A lot of people (are) pulling out their superannuation, spending it, then end up on the age pension anyway. I think the whole system is broken, to tell you the truth.”

Senator Hanson has previously backed calls to use super for housing, with important caveats.

Upon a sale of the property, proceeds commensurate with the superannuation investment would be returned to the fund.

“We brought out the policy that you could use the superannuation to put a deposit on your own home loan,’’ she said.

“You know that we brought that out years ago. Let people use that money to help them now in a state of crisis.

“You know, and some people, you know, who need these operations can’t get access to their superannuation to have that done.

“Superannuation should be lightened up a bit so people can utilise this money in times of crisis. It is their money.”

Liberals consider super overhaul

Liberal leader Angus Taylor is under pressure from his own frontbench to consider a radical overhaul to superannuation.

Outspoken Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg has confirmed he believes that compulsory super is a failed policy that’s ripe for a rethink.

Mr Bragg set the hares running last week with a speech at the National Press Club before making further comments to ABC Radio on Thursday that the super guarantee was a failed policy.

“It hasn’t worked,” Mr Bragg said.

“I mean, it’s one of the biggest public policy failures since federation, in the sense that it hasn’t helped the budget, and it has not really helped many people get off the pension.

“What it has done is it has created a huge viper’s nest for banks and financiers and unions to pilfer, which is why what you saw at the Labor Party conference was now you’re going to have super for under 18s, and soon you’ll have super for cats and dogs.”

Andrew Bragg says compulsory super is one of the ‘biggest public policy failures’ since Federation.

Mr Bragg, the author of a book on super called Bad Egg, said Australians now lived in a society where there is “superannuation for everything”.

“Most of their policies are driven (by) vested interest because they like to put their fingers into the till and pull out lots of money,” he said.

“Of course, that’s why they’ve given (former Labor MP turned superannuation chairman) Wayne Swan an award for being the world’s best person. Even though, of course, he is the chairman of a fund that doesn’t pay death benefits.”

Asked if the Coalition should campaign to reduce the super guarantee from 12 per cent of wages to a lower number, Mr Bragg said the status quo should be debated.

“I’m sceptical about the system’s capacity to deliver for the nation, but that’s something that I’d need to discuss with colleagues,” he said.

“And you know, [Liberal frontbencher] Tim Wilson and I, over a long period of time, have been sceptical about this particular policy. But it’s something that we need to work through carefully.”

Bragg wants to scrap universal super   :o

Senator Bragg hasn’t tried to hide his views in the past, calling for an end to compulsory super.   :(

“Mandates are always costly. And in this case, it takes 12 per cent from people’s wages to vest them with managers they will never meet. It is a loss of liberty,” he said at the National Press Club last week.

“As I said in my first speech, compulsory super remains a strange but huge illiberal experiment. So, you’ve got to ask yourself, what was the point of a scheme that gave you no public finance benefit and minimal personal benefit?”

Meanwhile, Mr Wilson told The Bolt Report in 2019 that super could be scrapped for low-income earners to boost their pay.

“For low-income earners or even for medium-income earners in particular it might make more sense that they have at least the choice to be able to take that money instead of taking it as more super,” he said.

Jane Hume has repeatedly denied voluntary super is on the Coalition’s agenda.



At the last election, the Coalition proposed that first-home buyers be able to withdraw $50,000 (and possibly more) from their super to homes.


Mr Taylor previously presented the annual Warren Hogan Memorial Lecture in economics at the University of Sydney, arguing the superannuation system was a big part of the Coalition’s plan to improve housing security.

He suggested that the Coalition “[align] superannuation with other global retirement schemes — like 401(k)”.

Those comments sparked a wave of speculation because super is not compulsory in the United States.

I wonder if compulsory super should be protected.  The same way that labor has protected the weekend, and public holiday penalty rates.   :(

As Ai pushes all humans onto the dole, super becomes obsolete.

Short term. Pauline wants to crash the housing market by slashing inward migration, while forcing lower income workers to buy roofs. Dumb !

Compulsory super only helps the funds ( many union owned) stay profitable.

People need THEIR own money now not when it suits the government best to allow them access.

Look at it this way. Why can a failed politician access their super immediately on being dismissed or resigned but no one else in the workforce can???

One Nation is looking more and more popular?

Super should not be a set and forget policy.

Hanson's populist schtick is becoming quite boring   ::)

What would I care? I would have to start working 60 hours a week for the next 30 years before I accumulate enough superannuation to live comfortably for the next few years in my retirement days.

Or do they just want people to have to work till they get put into a box ?

They are populist because they work the Media with its bias towards them.
Hanson is a populist too. Another Media infused who're with nothing but activist-like whinging and whining and making the Left look better than they are which is why the Media float her boat as their justification to exist.

NO about as unpopular as is possible.

With the ALP attacking neg gearing and pensioners I would think they have been the opposite of populist. The treasurer went as far as saying - the budget was Focused on balancing economic fairness across different age groups.

He literally said that - It wasn't fair because older people were gettining too much and this budget was going to fix that. How popular do you think that was for hundreds of thousands (or millions) of older Australians ?

This by itself is enough to almost certainly change governments at the next election. Popular my arse.

Then the removal of over 65 private healthcare rebate etc? Anyone really think this is popular with anyone ?  This is estimated to add about $1,600 to a pensioner family private health insurance. It is estimated that something like 400,000 pensioners will leave private health care and be stuck with the public system. It will cost the government a lot more than it will save.

This was an unpopular government ending budget.

Core Features of Populism

The People vs. The Elite: Divides society into a pure, forgotten populace and a dishonest ruling establishment.

Anti-Establishment: Opposes existing political norms, mainstream parties, and traditional institutions.

Charismatic Leadership: Relies on leaders who claim they alone embody the true desires of the nation.

Crisis Framing: Highlights a constant sense of threat or breakdown to rally public urgency.

Oh they are populist. Especially through the Media and its lame objectivity.
Only the Bondi Massacre seems to have had real Media pressure on the ALP and even then, it never roused Australians up to protest march or take real action beyond the usual whinge and whine over the last years since ScoMo. Wouldn't want to work Australians up in a Riot like Cronulla, like the Media does for the Democrats, Lefties & BLM now would we? ::)

Compulsory Super with an an age access was done because people could not & do not save the money ...

so it was also a compulsory savings with better interest rates than banks.

That's why industry superfunds always return better growth than private enterprise super run by banks & Insurance companies.

Actually the Labor Party hasn't fully protected weekend or public holiday penalty rates.....

they have been reduced & allowed to be bargained away for higher ordinary hour pay rates in EBAs.

Working people’s super can’t be trusted under a Hanson and Bragg partnership
August 17, 2026 ACTU.
Over the weekend, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has called for an end to universal superannuation, a move which would put millions of workers at risk of poverty in retirement.

Hanson’s call for an end to security in retirement comes off the back of Andrew Bragg calling Australia’s world-leading superannuation system a policy failure.

Dangerously and again out-of-step with many of his colleagues, in July, Senator Bragg left the door open to a Coalition arrangement with One Nation, saying the Liberals would “definitely work out whoever would be interested in being in a coalition with us, if that’s what the numbers were.”

Australian workers collectively hold more than $4 trillion in retirement savings. Every dollar of it is a benefit that will support working people maintain their standard of living from work and into retirement.

One Nation voted with the Coalition to freeze a legislated increase to the Superannuation Guarantee under the previous Coalition Government, and supported workers raiding their super to get by during COVID. Angus Taylor as Shadow Treasurer campaigned to force working people to drain their super just to get a house.

Workers can’t trust the Liberals nor One Nation with their retirement.

Quotes attributable to ACTU Assistant Secretary Joseph Mitchell:

“Angus Taylor failed to keep Bragg on a leash when he compared young people to dogs and now Hanson is spouting rabid anti-super policies.

“Superannuation is a great Australian success story. Because of superannuation ordinary working people are able to retire and maintain their standard of living into retirement.

“Working people love their super and want to see a successful super system that provides a great retirement income. Rather than support this effort, Andrew Bragg and Pauline Hanson are looking to collaborate and tear it all down.

“Super is not their ideological plaything, it’s hard-earned money for retirement. Unions won’t let One Nation or the Liberals take it away.”

Just a little Super story.
Back in the day when compulsory super was being discussed I was at a Union meeting where it was put to the vote, a pay rise or compulsory super, with a few others I voted against as I was already looking after my retirement.
Some months later Management came round with individual papers to be signed accepting the new superannuation.
A mate and I refused to sign, ‘’But it’s compulsory’’
Us, ‘’It’s compulsory for you to pay but it’s not compulsory for us to accept.’’
Result, the company had to rewrite part of the computer programme to exclude those who didn’t want to accept.

Hanson has got to be ugliest woman in Australia.
Eyes like a Cane Toad and a voice like dysentery when she speaks.
She's a prime example, like Gillard, that Ranga women are not as good as Ranga men, in Politics.
Sure, maybe in the Media of Music & Entertainment. 
But this is Politics. Something the Australian Public has forgotten, or being duped (by the Media) to differentiate.

I am very capable of working at least 50 hours a week until I am into my 70s. But it won't be for jobs where I am outdoors in 35°C temperatures working on laying new roads or even working as a traffic controller.

Mum and Dad are going to be dead inside the next 10 years. Why you think I would be reliant on them or even the government to survive is beyond my understanding.

Pauline Hanson is 72 years old. You cannot expect her to look 42 years old forever. It is not like you were ever fighting women off with a stick to stop them from lusting after you. And politics ages a person with higher levels of stress than a lot of other jobs out there.

I realise that you mean Ms Hanson has an ugly personality.

I see the silly tart wants to reduce excise on Cigarette products by something like 75%.   I mean - who is advising this twat - must be Barnaby - because no one in their right mind would even think of that as an acceptable to the public option.      We have finally got smoking rates falling and young people not taking it up.   Surgeons and Hospitals are seeing drops in smoking related illness and disease.   Medicare money that was earmarked for smoking related treatment is most probably reassigned - and now this moron proposes scrapping it all?

As for Compulsory super, I recall when we for went a 3% payrise in 1987 (?) to start the super ball rolling Keating stated that it was to set us all up for retirement and not to rely on the pension.    All the Libs and Labor have done since then is fiddled with it, changed it, flipped it and f@cked it.  Might as well give it back to everyone and shut the super business down as it is nowhere near what was envisaged.

You'll be as ugly if you reach 72. There are far uglier people in Australian politics & their age is irrelevant.

They are ugly on the outside & on the inside..... & Pauline Hanson isn't one of them.

No you're not capable of working 50 hrs a week until you're 70 - because you have yet to do it & you're in your late 40's close to 50.

And because numpty you are living rent free in your parents house & you will I suppose be a recipient in their will & you are living on Govt welfare.

If she was in your room, you would be going "Huh, uh. uuuah". Pauline was not bad looking back in her youth,

One thing that Compulsory Super achieved was higher prices all round.
The completely unfair impost on businesses was absorbed by raising prices.
It was a vote winner though.

But the Government, whilst telling us all that smoking kills, will not ban tobacco; in fact they will allow it to be imported.

If she was in your room, you would be going "Huh, uh. uuuah". Pauline was not bad looking back in her youth,

Was this before the operation or is it just someone she impercinates ? ?

I still think the Burka is by far her best look.

Gay Lefties like zpeccary & the ALP need Rednecks like Hanson as a justification to exist.
Two wrongs not making a right  trying to destroy our great country.

Sounds like the first step along the path to restore the retirement packaging - a.k.a. pensions by right ... that were once part of pay packets until consolidated revenue stole it all and made it into part of the slush fund....

To restore that component of taxation will required that it be separated into a totally separate account untouchable by politicians ...

Cut out the extra and inflationary imposition of super - restore the 'pension' component in your personal tax, and off she goes back to reality.

The super scam, like every other, is filled with leeches who are wanting to become instant billionaires out of it... been that way ever since 'privatisation' come into things...  think now of how much has gone into a few private pockets since the long ago 'sale' of the M-4 in Sydney.... how many have gained hundreds of millions for stealing a public resource and charging for its use... then look at all the other rorts of privatisation...

Hanson is on to something there.....

"M4 (2013–present) was sold off to property developers a freeway corridor in 1977 by the State Government. were opened on 16 December 1982 by Premier Wran."  It was a Freeway owned by the people - then was 'bought' by a consortium lead by the then Premier, Greiner, and turned into a private road that they charged for.  He and his wife each had a heap of the shares in it.... meaning they got a heap of the profits - and this at a time when he was State Premier.

We do get some beauties and ICAC sleeps on.

Idiot's Guide To Turning A Public Utility Into A Private Venture For Profit by Nicholas Frank Hugo Greiner ... a long standing text for all politicians of all stamps... a companion piece to  "How To Convert Public Money Into Private Profit".

Hopefully, smoking rates fall like crazy. But the Government, whilst telling us all that smoking kills, will not ban tobacco; in fact they will allow it to be imported. The tobacco tax is lovedbythe hypocrites in Parliament.

The amount of tax brought in by cigarette sales would be negligible for the amount of losses in productivity, the cost from health problems, and the accidental arson that occurs from people discarding their cigarettes improperly.

Iwould be quite happy to see those nicotine aggressive people settle down and save their money to buy other taxed items that are more in line with healthy and construct pursuits.

Putting up a picture of Pauline Pantsdown does not negate how Pauline Hanson was quite pretty in her youth. People get old. They do not retain their looks.
