Welcome to episode 98 of The Numbers Game. On today's show, we'll be diving into the recent announcement from the Australian government about a  30% tax on Superfund balances over $3 million, and the potential implications it could have on individuals and the housing market.

Reading The play:

• How much the proposed tax is expected to generate
• The reality of this tax in the future
• The push to index the $3 million cap with inflation
• Participants expressed concern that the government could continue to tax super in the future, potentially increasing the rate as well.
