Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen has told the National Press Club that the Australian Labor Party will act quickly to release a mini-Budget if it wins the federal election on 2 July 2016. He also indicated that Labor will reinstate plans to lift the employer superannuation contribution to 12 per cent. The Australian Government put this policy on hold after abolishing the mining tax. The super guarantee has been increased from nine per cent to 9.5 per cent, but at present it is not slated to rise to 12 per cent until 2025.
