Labor thinks it can win elections defending super. For Hanson, it’s just another way to deprive Taylor of political oxygen

Pauline Hanson, the leader of the One Nation party, has announced a policy to slash tobacco excise by 75% in an effort to combat illegal tobacco sales. This move has put pressure on the Australian government, as it is similar to a policy being considered by the Coalition. The Labor party believes it can win elections by defending its superannuation policies, but Hanson's announcement has taken attention away from Labor's key issue.
