Speculation that the Federal Government will introduce legislation to change the age Australians can access their superannuation funds is incorrect, Treasurer, Joe Hockey, says.
Responding to questions about when the Treasurer believed people should be able to access their super funds, Hockey said that his personal view "doesn't matter at this particular point".
"What matters is policy of the Government and I say again, we are not changing super in this term of Government," he said.
"Any suggestion that there's this new wave of policy reform in superannuation happening at the moment is wrong."
The Treasurer refused to speculate on any future proposals regarding structural changes around superannuation and the possibility of adjusting the taxation treatment of high income earners.
