Jim Chalmers says Labor will push ahead with delayed changes to tax treatment for superannuation accounts worth more than $3m, stressing the moves are modest and will apply to politicians and public servants on defined benefit schemes. The plan also includes tax on unrealised gains from assets including small businesses, farms and shares held in self-managed retirement accounts. Independent MP Allegra Spender on Wednesday called on the treasurer to rethink the changes, even as she conceded Labor had a mandate to press ahead. Public servants, politicians and judges are among defined benefit recipients. But the complicated rules of defined benefit retirement schemes have been a challenge for the design of the laws.

Though he hasn’t explicitly endorsed Trump’s rhetoric yet, his support for migrants and refugees reflects a stance opposed to policies like deportation. The papal announcement coincides with tensions between Europe and the U.S., as Trump isolates the country and has already taken steps that have strained relations with traditional allies, including Germany.

The papal conclave, under Pope Gregory X's rules, has become remarkably swift, with popes Francis and Benedict XVI elected in just two days each. Yet centuries prior, monarchies influenced by church loyalty often prolonged elections for months. Post-1870, conclaves have shortened due to the end of the pope’s temporal power.

Why is CEO pay so much higher than workers' earnings?
