Workers will raise their pension contributions to the long -awaited pension guarantee guarantees, but even more increases are not possible at any time.

The proportion of super employers, from 11.5 percent of employees’ wages to 12 percent on Tuesday, and to mark the beginning of the new financial year, they must make a lot of changes in payments and prices.

When it was introduced in 1992, the climax of a decimal process to increase the super guarantee from three percent and increases a six -year delay in the presentation to 12 percent under the previous coalition government.

Former Prime Minister Paul Keating, who designed compulsory retirement with Bill Klalty, the union boss, said that the system finally matured.

“Pension like Medicare is now the Australian community standard that connects the entire population as a national economic family,” Keating said.

The Labor Party’s national platform still lists the desire to “set a path to 15 percent for the party to 15 percent, but the sounds in the Labor Movement have recently cooled this idea.

Sally Mcmanus, Secretary of the Peak Union Organ, said that reaching 12 percent was “incredible success, but it did not force the union movement more.

AAP, “Actually, there is a question about whether we have reached an honorable retirement point at 12 percent,” AAP said.

“Obviously, we will continue to evaluate this.”

Wayne Swan, the former worker Wayne Swan, who increased the increase in the super guarantee from nine to 12 percent and is now challenging the Industrial Super Fund CU, does not want any more increase.

The program provides “sufficient retirement savings for most workers ,, SWAN is an OP-ED in the Australian financial review at the weekend.

Labor figures are concerned that the plan does not function as aimed at anymore – to provide an honorable income in retirement and to reduce the confidence in the pension.

Increased its use by Australians as a super tax minimization tool instead of pension housing eggs, encouraging the government to bring legislation and increased the tax rate on earnings from 30 percent from 30 percent.

The change has not yet passed the parliament, but it will return to July 1, assuming that the greenery in the labor senate has won the support.

The government also said that the highest retirement body, Asfa General Manager, Mary Delahunty, said that for women who devote time from the labor force, he would pay super with a paid parent per Tuesday.

Workers with minimum and reward salaries will receive 3.5 percent for the fee on Tuesday – a significant increase in real wages on inflation.

In addition to helping to address the decline in living standards in recent years, Mcmanus said it would help the economy because consumer expenditures were essential for businesses and workers for prize fees instead of saving a higher part of their income.

“People are still behind where they are before they start inflation. So there’s more captures,” he said.

While wages and state aid payments increase, business recording and price increases for energy bills that may be higher than 9.7 percent for some households have increased.

Shadow Treasurer Ted O’Brien said that increasing costs for businesses and household peoples will hit the living standards and prevent productivity.

“This new financial year has doubled Labour’s chances of reset, instead of Labour, higher costs for the Australians, higher costs, more bureaucracy and policies.”
