#BREAKING: PM announces Australians can now access their super to afford Easter eggs

NEST EGG: In a surprise cost-of-living measure unveiled just days before Easter, the Prime Minister has announced Australians will now be allowed to access part of their superannuation to help cover the soaring cost of Easter eggs.

“Australians are doing it tough, but no Australian should have to go without their favourite chocolate treats this Easter,” Anthony Albanese told journalists a short time ago.

The federal government has already allowed early super access for housing deposits.

Under the new scheme, effective immediately, Australians can withdraw up to $90 from their retirement savings to pay for easter eggs.

“What a relief,” said one shopper. “Now I can buy one medium bag of mini eggs and a hollow chocolate rabbit that tastes like candle wax.”

The announcement has been welcomed by major supermarkets, with Coles and Woolworths both confirming they are already working on special in-store signage for the initiative.
