    Discussions are circling on whether now's the time to means-test Superannuation

    Discussions are circling on whether now's the time to means-test Superannuation


    2023 Census data shows 33,000 over-65s earned $100,00-to-$200,000 dollars - and more than 9,000 topped that figure.

    Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson says if there is a strong economic argument Super isn't affordable, means-testing could be worth it.

    "If you're earning more than, say, $180,000 a year and you're claiming the super, then the cost to the taxpayer might be questioned."
