The Daily Telegraph – Wards of the state, not masters of our futures

One of the most deceptive campaigns ever waged on the Australian public has been the marketing of superannuation as a personal safety net, your key to financial freedom.

We’ve been sold the idea that super is the smart way to plan for the future, to secure your independence (from government), and to ensure your family is financially protected. All under the watchful eye of “institutional investors,” conveniently governed and protected by the very politicians who promise not to touch your money, until they do.
