Tony Abbott has vowed there will never be any increased taxes on superannuation under a Coalition government.
Following revelations that the government had been examining options, PM Tony Abbott was his most emphatic last Wednesday, according to the Australian Financial Review's Phil Coorey.
"We made a very clear commitment prior to the last election that there would be no adverse changes in superannuation under this government in this Parliament and we have made a very clear decision that we aren't ever going to increase the taxes on super, we aren't ever going to increase the restrictions on super, because super belongs to the people," he said.
Before the last election, Mr Abbott promised no adverse changes to super this term.
After Labor unveiled its policy, the Coalition ruled out taking any proposals to the next election.
