    Second Reading

    Senator Wendy Askew introduced the bill to expand downsizer superannuation contribution rules, aiming to increase housing supply for younger Australians. The proposal lowers the eligibility age from 55 to 50, extends the contribution window to one year, and raises the maximum contribution limit to $500,000. Askew argued that these changes would help older Australians downsize while freeing up family homes for younger buyers. The debate was adjourned after the second reading speech was delivered.

    Outcome: The debate was adjourned after leave was granted for the senator to continue remarks later.
