Portfolio — 8 May 2026
Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino released a consultation paper on 8 May 2026 proposing reforms to the annual superannuation performance test, with submissions open until 19 June 2026. The paper canvasses removing what the government describes as unnecessary investment barriers and potentially expanding the test's coverage beyond its current 800-plus products.
The release explicitly guards against a watering-down reading, framing the reforms as a strengthening of member protections rather than a retreat from them. The announcement sits alongside a broader legislative agenda the government listed, including payday super from 1 July and superannuation on government-funded parental leave.
The official records this note draws on — the raw primary documents themselves, as published.
