Industry lobby groups are warning the governmentâs decision to expand superannuation payments to workers earning less than $450 a month will lead to higher costs at a time when many of their members are still struggling from the economic downturn.
The government announced in Tuesdayâs budget that it was axing the rule that requires employers to pay superannuation to only those employees earning more than $450 a month before tax.
Australian Retailers Association CEO Paul Zahra thinks the move will improve the financial wellbeing of retail workers. Â

A routine update to the Town of Waynesville’s State of Emergency ordinance finally passed on Dec. 8 after being tabled for weeks due to an uproar among anti-mask citizens who embarked on a marathon series of public comment sessions in fear that the town was also planning to enact a mandatory mask-wearing edict.
Such ordinances typically outline which municipal officials can declare a State of Emergency, and for what reasons. When that does happen, local governments can exercise emergency powers in an effort to let first responders address the situation.
