Treasury and ATO officers today told the Senate’s COVID committee $38 billion came from people being able to access $10,000 of their superannuation in two tranches.
“$38 billion from people’s super, being accessed early, pumped into the economy,” Mr Clennell said.
“$100 billion for JobKeeper, $38 billion of super, that’s how significant that’s been a stimulus to the economy.”
