Labor thinks it can win elections defending super. For Hanson, it’s just another way to deprive Taylor of political oxygen

This analysis covers the political fallout from One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's interventions, including a policy to slash tobacco excise by 75% to combat illegal sales and her push for Australians to access their superannuation savings in financial distress. It argues Labor thinks it can win elections defending super, while for Hanson the issue is another way to 'deprive Taylor of political oxygen', and notes Hanson's claim that 'Labor would rather you end up homeless.'

Liberal frontbencher Angus Taylor is reportedly pushing the superannuation-access debate, and all sides are feeling pressure from Hanson ahead of the election.

It illustrates how fringe-party policy ideas are shaping the major parties' political strategies in the run-up to the federal election.
