We (rather the government) seem to spend an incredible amount on making sure “solo mum of three” doesn’t get a dollar more than she’s owed just in case she might be scamming us or worse spending it on something I disapprove of while cheerfully firing superannuation at old people with reckless abandon.

There’s a particularly disgusting (IMHO) double standard here that no politician dares touch.

If super is no longer enough money then perhaps the recipients need budgeting help, like we condescendingly tell “solo mum of three”.
