Paying super on carer payments to a 30-year-old woman would reduce her pension payments by nearly $3, in real terms, for every dollar in super paid. She'll retire with greater economic security and save you money in the process. Genuinely, can you explain to me what the downsides of this proposal are? This helps the budget, this helps carers, and it means nobody will ever have to retire into poverty for the crime of caring for their dying parent in their last year of life.
