Accessing super for treatment

We would all give it up everything to be cancer free for sure you can’t put a price on your health I know...and no one wants to hear those words.  I’m a nurse for fucks sake  so I know all too well about that. and had i not been diagnosed it never would of been an issue for me. But it was and I guess you could argue yes I should of double checked I had income protection but still even so I still think under the circumstances we should be entitled to some government support after working our whole lives when we need it.  The apprentices get a $20k tax fee loan to support them during their apprenticeship for tools etc and they can spend it on whatever they want, you can get a HECS loan for your education which you pay back once you earn over a certain amount same for the apprenticeship loan, which I totally support  but I’ve worked my arse off and no govt loans for me or even a lousy Centrelink payment for all the bloody tax I’ve paid.  Even if we got a temporary dsp or Newstart payment during  treatment that had to be paid back when you get back to work would of been so helpful and I Would be happy to get a 20k tax free loan  and pay it back once I got back to work too. I’m sure I would not be the only one who feels this way about it. Margie xx
