Do the Nat agree on Super?

One of the highlights of last week's Super Conference was the unequivocal speech from National Party finance spokesman Bill English.

However, I wonder if it will be a low point for him?

Why? Well English made it absolutely clear that compulsory superannuation was off the agenda. It just wasn't an option, he said.

What surprised me was that at the previous conference less than six months ago National's then finance spokesman and now leader, John Key, and Labour's Shane Jones, who chairs the finance and expenditure select committee (FEC), gave a completely different story.
