I find it amazing that most but not all MPs whom retire get their super right away unlike us ordinary mortals. This is of course tax free. for Tony Abbott for example no tax means he is earning more he is not an MP than when he was!
Let us assume they retire on $150 k tax free.
Can you tell me why they then have to go out make a make truckloads of money such as Bishop and Pyne will do.
How about doing some voluntary work for your local community or even the national community. Why are they ( and let us make if very clear this is a bipartisan stance here) so keen to make as much money as possible utilising the skills they used in politics. Why are they sooo greedy?
A simply policy change can change all this. Only allow them to super payments once they pass the required age like all of us. They are double dipping in the worst fashion at present.
This criticism does not apply to MPs who have become MPs since 2004 and are on a super scheme just like most of us!
