Declare position says Govt
The Federal Government is continuing to put pressure on the Australian Labor Party (ALP) to declare where it stands on the superannuation changes announced in May’s Federal Budget.
The Assistant Treasurer, Peter Dutton, has called on the leader of the Opposition, Kim Beazley, to say where the Opposition stands on the super changes in circumstances where the ALP has not formally indicated its position.
Dutton said it had been more than 61 days since the Federal Budget had been handed down, and Beazley had not indicated whether his party would be supporting the changes.
He said it was time for the Opposition to declare its hand on the issue.
