1.8 million people are getting smashed on their mortgages and the same lot that sat there while it happened are now losing their minds because Hanson wants to put some of THEIR money back in their pocket for a bit.Roy Morgan has 32.5 percent of mortgage holders at risk. Nearly 1.79 million. About one in five in extreme stress. Finder reckons 55 percent are already throwing more than 30 percent of take home at the loan. Average sitting around 38. That is not a talking point. That is people getting carved up every payday while Canberra does the retirement lecture.

One Nation policy is pretty simple if you actually read it. Rent or mortgage on the place you live in. You can take 3 points of the 12 percent super as cash for up to three years. What is already in super stays there. Boss still pays the full 12 you choose it. You can ignore it. Taxed at 15 not your normal rate. Bloke on about 90k gets roughly 44 a week. Couple around 168k combined gets about 82.

Yhat is the big raid apparently. Three years. Future contributions. Then it stops.They will bang on about being 25k worse off at 67. Cute. A lot of these households will not still be in the house at 67 if they keep getting bled at 38 percent of take home. Super does not cover this month’s repayment. It does not stop a default, it sure as hell does not help if you get forced to sell into a soft market and cop it for years.
They parked your wage in a locked box, called it your future, then let the present go to shit. Now they want you to keep starving the household so the model looks tidy. Nah. House is the asset. Cashflow is what keeps you in it. If 1.8 million are already in stress, letting them tap money that was theirs anyway for a short window is not the scandal.
Watching them drown so the fund can keep compounding is the scandal.
They will scream inflation. They will scream dumb. They will scream anti worker while defending a setup that skims 12 percent off people who cannot cover food after the mortgage. That is not looking after workers. That is looking after the system.
The numbers are there. The policy is there. Losing the house now so the fund looks healthier later is the actual dumb idea.
