Super Expensive, Super Unfair

Super Expensive, Super Unfair

Superannuation is supposed to help us save for our retirement, and tax concessions on super are meant to reduce the burden on the government to fund our retirement through the age pension. But what are these concessions, and are they really working in the way they are intended to? To help explain, we're talking to the Australia Institute's Senior Economist Matt Grudnoff, and Senior Research Fellow, Dave Richardson.

This was recorded on Tuesday 7th March 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
