Your usage of 'mantra' in reference to preempt the abuse of super seems pejorative: mindless repetition, blind faith, following the command from a higher power and untested by reality?
Super can never sustain building the grand kids' Oxbridge escapades, as it is being financed by the near-invisible average taxpayer groaning under the pressure of unfunded age pensions, less wealthy than those who can game the rules.
The Government deserves praise for this overdue vision, long after Keating's compulsory super, undoing the damage of Howard Costello tax-free super post 60, regardless of size.
A bit more neutral language would be appropriate. I have a natural advantage as a Brahmin well-versed in several original Sanskrit mantras, I should know!
