So ASFA asked people who aren't self employed whether self employed people should have compulsory SG. Ironic at a time where we're being told to vote for a Voice so people affected by legislation get a say and are heard.
For self employed people, their business is their super. They invest in their business so when they retire they can sell it and live off the proceeds. Putting money into super instead would result in some business failing and for others would impact daily living expenses.
I appreciate the current system isn't perfect, but compulsory super for this group isn't either. But don't ask everyone else and then lobby Government. Ask the self employed. Give them a Voice, and listen to them.
