Approval for Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton continues to sag amid cost of living squeeze
The Albanese government’s plan tofor people with superannuation balances over $3m is supported by 50% of Guardian Essential poll respondents – and the move is more popular among those with higher balances.
Perhaps counterintuitively, the new poll indicates Labor’s decision to limit tax concessions for wealthy retirees is more popular among voters with higher accumulated superannuation balances. More than half of respondents think the government wants to ensure super is used as retirement income and not as a tax shelter for the rich, 58% believe the change is about paying down debt and freeing up funds for services, while 52% say the policy is about making the system fairer and more sustainable.
Similarly, 43% of respondents favour the cancellation of the stage-three tax cuts that predominantly benefit higher earners, while 36% are on the fence and 22% would oppose that idea.
