Your super may be funding Labor’s broken promises

Your retirement funds may be benefiting Labor

Industry superannuation funds are great if you are a member of one. Low administration fees, focused on returns for members, and in some industries, still part of an anachronistic, closed-shop union deal.

My latest article in the Spectator Australia considers the inequity of industry super indirectly funding Labor. Given the series of broken promises, some industry super fund members are right to be upset.

In the Morning Double Shot newsletter, Terry Barnes had this to say:

Michael de Percy is right: politically, compulsory superannuation was intended first and foremost to give Labor’s union allies rivers of gold to exploit to the hilt, including returning at least some of that gold to the ALP itself. When it comes to looking at the Prime Minister’s prattling purveying of perfidy in respect of the legislated stage 3 tax cuts, and what they mean to those union allies and their ALP affiliations, the political Ponzi scheme that is industry super funds control of your money must be targeted for destruction by the next Coalition government, whenever that may be.

In the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

Michael de Percy has written a piece this morning pointing out that your super money is funding the Labor Party – whether you like it or not. While I disagree with him on the merits of super, his insights into how it is being abused and manipulated are well worth the read.

The End of Woke is Nigh

Every Australian is entitled to fly the Australian Flag and can obtain on for free from their local MP

As we approach this Australia Day, may we consciously reinvigorate a  tradition that was once a source of pride and joy, and that can still be  so if we refuse to play the Green-Left’s boring Woke game of  self-hatred. We are better than that, and there are many reasons for us  to celebrate.

The Green-Left have offered us no compelling alternative to hating  ourselves other than to replicate their Woke tropes as part of some Woke meme that leads to socialism. And socialism leads to nowhere.

We already live in the greatest nation in the world. Let us all rejoice and act like it.

Labor are the masters of their own demise

The 'catch-all' party of Keating has become the 'upset-all' party of Albanese

The Albanese government’s dictatorial policy of renewables at all costs was always going to bring about its demise. Following the defeat of the divisive Voice to Parliament Referendum, the Prime Minister has been labelled a ‘beta male’, defined as a ‘submissive, feeble-minded, and weak man’. With Labor’s planned republic referendum now hopefully shelved until their defeat at the next election, renewables policy is one area where we can expect rapid desperation from the Prime Minister to create some sort of legacy in the short time he has left. 

From The Spectator's "Unfiltered" newsletter:

The stand-out piece this morning goes to Michael de Percy, who writes that ‘Labor are the masters of their own demise’. ‘Labor’s energy policy has recast Labor from the ‘catch-all’ party of Keating to the ‘upset-all’ party of Albanese.’ He adds that instead of Albanese being a ‘conviction politician’ – as he has branded himself – we would be better calling him a ‘consensus politician’.

From my latest article in The Spectator Australia's Flat White, Labor are the masters of their own demise:

Canberra Times: Tram poses a question on housing

My op-ed in The Canberra Times, 8 January 2024, p. 17

Those Canberrans who do not want to live in high-density housing are making choices that the ACT government cannot control. Canberra's green vision underpinned by high-density housing along a tramway is not for everyone it seems.

Bowen’s homemade recipe for an energy debacle

Not even Chris Bowen can control the weather [Public Domain: Dust Storm, Texas, 1935]

Rewiring the Nation won’t happen by rewriting history. Markets work best through light regulation and promoting competition. Government has a role to ensure important social outcomes where profits are scarce. But Labor’s energy transition is all about government control. Whether we agree with a government-led renewables future or not, one thing is clear: skills are not keeping up with demand. Australia is going it alone without nuclear, and Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s homemade recipe for an energy debacle is in full swing.

From The Spectator's "Unfiltered" newsletter:

Michael de Percy also offered a savage look at the energy future of Bowen’s Utopia, including all these lofty promises of ‘job creation’ that never seem to manifest in reality.
