Media Watch’s Paul Barry running ‘blatantly false’ government ‘talking points’ on superThis week ABC’s Media Watch host Paul Barry was “most indignant” at the media’s criticism of the Albanese government for “breaking its election promise” on super, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton. Mr Barry said somehow the changes became “an attack on all Australians”, even though they will initially affect “only 80,000 taxpayers who have more than $3 million in their super funds”. “But what Barry failed to mention is that those indexation will change those numbers completely.
