What happened
A nationally representative survey of over 1,000 Australians found majority support for four proposals linking superannuation to housing costs. The strongest backing, at 72%, was for allowing homeowners to direct part of their super into a mortgage offset account. One Nation's proposal to redirect up to 3% of compulsory super contributions toward mortgage or rent payments for three years received 68% support.

Why it matters
The proposals address housing affordability by suggesting new ways to leverage retirement savings. While support was strong across demographics, a separate model indicated that taking up the compulsory contribution arrangement could leave a median full-time worker $25,000 worse off at retirement.
