ACT Leader Hon Richard Prebble confirmed that the ACT caucus has taken a superannuation policy approach to the party board meeting today.

The board endorsed the caucus position and has given authority for caucus to release the policy position.

“The ACT party welcomes the government’s initiative in acknowledging that the future sustainability of superannuation is a very important issue.

“Sustainable superannuation is a core ACT position and one of the motivations for founding the party.

“I will be writing to Dr Cullen to inform him of the party’s position and will be calling a press conference later in the week to formally set out ACT’s position and the reasons for it.

“ACT does appreciate that in an MMP parliament ACT’s support may turn out to be crucial for the successful passing of any superannuation policy,” said Hon Richard Prebble.
