Treasurer Jim Chalmers has confirmed that the federal government intends to proceed with legislation to double the tax rate on superannuation balances exceeding $3m and introduce a tax on unrealised capital gains. Some Labor MPs have expressed concern about the proposed superannuation tax changes, noting that the reforms had generated a lot of negative feedback at polling booths on election day. Independent MP Allegra Spender says that although Labor now has a mandate for superannuation tax reform. she contends that it is "bad policy" and should be reconsidered.
