Deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley has slammed a proposal by 43 industry groupings to reform the superannuation system so that a portion of the funds are set aside to cover an individual’s aged care arrangements.

Labor Assistant Treasurer, Stephen Jones, told ABC News that it was a conversation the nation had to have.
