Several speakers wrongly baderted that union super funds would be excluded from the new policy, although corrected by the Labor's only Labor MP, Matt Thistlethwaite.

One participant, John Graham, pointed to the older demographic group in the room but said the effects of repression of postage credit would go far beyond Australia's 200,000 self-managed super funds and would touch its four adult children.

"It's not just an attack on us, it's an attack on our families and grandchildren," he said to the crowd's applause. "Watch out for 800,000 fights."

Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who also sits on the committee, said he agreed and said that pbading on a legacy to future generations was "one of the good reasons" for which Australians are saving money.

Margaret Chuck, 63, was the only speaker in favor of Labor Party policy and was repeatedly whistled by the crowd during her presentation.

"These are not money that these people have earned.This money is coming out of the pocket of other taxpayers at such a high price that it would cover the funding of public schools throughout the world. Australia, "she said.

Liberal MPs Trent Zimmerman and John Alexander and Liberal Senate candidate Andrew Bragg were also present in the room without being members of the committee.

The hearing took place the same morning The Sydney Morning Herald and L & # 39; age revealed that the Liberal Party was using the taxpayer-funded parliamentary inquiry to generate donations.

Liberal MP Jason Falinski, another committee member, used the survey to encourage voters to participate in a $ 25 head-raising fundraiser with Wilson and Liberal candidate Dave Sharma this week.

Apart from the investigation, Mr. Falinski said the charges that fundraising was related to the investigation were "an absolute lie, a frustrating lie." [put out by] the Labor Party ".

"The survey does not involve any politicization." The survey is a direct survey, he said.

"The work is put into all sorts of problems about it and his answer is to close it."

However, Liberal MP Craig Kelly felt that it was perfectly reasonable for the party to raise funds as a result of the investigation.

"In a free country, that's what you're allowed to do," he said. "Everyone is free to attend." People are free to do what they want with people who come here. "People can stand up front and lobby. here and hand out forms for the Labor Party, for GetUp !, or for the Greens. "

But this is not the opinion of a man who interrupted the beginning of the Chatswood session by repeatedly shouting "this process is a sham" and "this process is a scam".

The man was forcibly removed by other participants – during which he stumbled and fell, which prompted the crowd to applaud and applaud. Asked about the presence of security forces, Mr. Wilson replied, "No, because we do not normally have this childish behavior."

Another hearing was scheduled to take place at Bondi Junction RSL on Friday afternoon.
