One Nation Blocks Journalists from Melbourne Press Conference, Proposes 3% Superannuation Rent Transfer

In Melbourne today, the One Nation party denied journalists access to a scheduled press conference, a move that drew criticism from media observers. During the event, party representatives outlined a proposal to allow Australians to divert 3 % of their superannuation contributions toward rent or mortgage payments. Analysts warn that the measure would reduce the retirement savings of a 30‑year‑old by about $25,000 and a couple by roughly $50,000, undermining the 12 % superannuation guarantee that has been built up over decades. The policy also raises concerns about government influence over personal financial decisions. The party’s stance on limiting government control over media content was also mentioned, though no official statement was released after the press conference was closed to reporters.
