Housing Hypocrites: Tim Wilson’s housing affordability crusade just an assault on super
Liberal MP Tim Wilson is the latest Coalition politician to cry crocodile tears over the housing affordability crisis, calling for Australians to access their superannuation to buy a house. Wilson’s call however is supreme hypocrisy; about tackling housing affordability than attacking the super industry, writes Elizabeth Minter. Coalition policy on negative gearing, property subsidies, money-laundering, super fund borrowing and banking and lending standards are ample evidence.
