I wrote this morning how several Coalition MPs are pressuring Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison to wind-back their announced superannuation reforms, arguing that it cost the party dearly at weekend’s election.
Well, Treasurer Morrison has hit back insisting there was “no correlation” between the wealthy electorates hardest hit by the Government’s proposed super changes and swings against Coalition MPs. From The AFR:
As shown above, of the ten seats most affected by the Government’s super reform package, five Coalition MPs increased their vote at the election and five experienced swings against them.
Given that there was an overall 3.6% swing against the Liberal Party, and that all of the seats above performed better than the average, wouldn’t this suggest that the super reform package was a vote winner overall?
