Tony Abbott supports “grandfathering”

Dear Malcolm, Bill, Scott, Mathias, Kelly and Michael,

I/we support Save Our Super's Call For Action.

Save Our Super is an apolitical community-based group which makes the public aware of the implications of the superannuation proposals in Budget 2016 and the Opposition’s superannuation policies.
Labor dumped their election superannuation policies and made an increased tax grab on 26 June 2016 despite saying, just over a year ago, "If elected, these are the final and only changes Labor will make to the tax treatment of superannuation". Labor has not announced any replacement superannuation policies.

Some of our supporters vote Liberal/National; some vote Labor; others vote for other parties or independents. But we are united in our call for action by the Federal Parliament.

PETITION
Save Our Super's Call For Action:

Save Our Super petitions and calls for bi-partisan superannuation policies from Australia’s major political parties:

which will grandfather the following Budget 2016 superannuation proposals:

• the introduction of a transfer balance cap of $1.6 million on amounts into the tax-free retirement (pension) phase from 1 July 2017.
• after commencement, if individuals already in retirement as at 1 July 2017 retain balances in excess of the $1.6 million cap and do not transfer the excess out of the retirement phase account, an excess transfer balance tax will be payable;
• for a person who has not previously been liable to pay excess transfer balance tax—15% of the person’s annualised notional earnings on excess transfer balance for the financial year; or
