Good points. Ironically now you can get the government to stump up for a stake for purchasing a home, and then once you have the means (or get access to your super), buy out the government's stake. In a way it's handy that you can diversify your wealth, but it is a bit ridiculous people are forced to go through this system.
A truer comparison should be both as home owners or both renting. How can anyone provide a true comparison without this being fair. Not all pensioners own their home in fact I don’t know any.
