Story summary

One Nation proposes renters and mortgage payers withdraw 25% of compulsory super for up to three years.
Party leader Pauline Hanson says the measure would give people breathing room amid cost-of-living pressures.
Economists warn the withdrawal could stoke inflation and raise interest rates, worsening the cost-of-living crunch.
Critics argue the plan would cut future retirement incomes while Australia’s super pool totals $4.8 trillion, projected $8 trillion by decade’s end.
