Episode Details

Pauline Hanson’s push to let Aussies tap into super to buy homes is reigniting debate — with Labor calling it “the gold medal for stupidest policy.” But Adelaide Uni researchers reveal it’s not that simple: without boosting housing supply, extra cash could spike prices by 7-10%. The real question isn’t just “can we raid super?” but “where does the money go?” Some proposals suggest returning funds when the house is sold — turning it into a temporary asset shift. What if it was restricted to new builds? That might actually increase supply — but risks remain: land values, labor shortages, and unequal benefits. Singapore’s model proves retirement funds and housing can coexist — if done smartly.
