The other winners from Labor's super tax backdown: judges
After a long campaign fought largely out of the headlines, judges are celebrating the demise of the proposed tax on their pensions.
Australia’s judges are among the biggest winners from the Labor government’s superannuation backflip.
On Monday, Treasurer Jim Chalmers announced that plans to tax unrealised gains in high-value super accounts were off the agenda.
Other parts of the reform were also shelved, including plans to treat the pensions of federal judges like superannuation and hit them with an extra 15% tax on balances above $3 million.
The Australian Judicial Officers Association (AJOA), which co-ordinated a highly effective campaign against the proposed tax, celebrated the decision.
