You know what's more boring than talking about a capital gains tax? It’s talking about superannuation, and yet here we are again. We're talking about it again, and how we need to take the Super off the 65 year olds because of what happened yesterday. Now what happened yesterday was that for a brief minute, the two major political parties almost found consensus on the Super, but it only lasted a few hours. So Nicola from National said to Barbara from Labour, we should have a chat, and Barbara said
