I f this doesn't make a mockery of the govt canning policies if a premuim is not being paid i dont know what does! People might keep old policies going in old superfunds because of changes in their health along lifes road. So much for the inabillity of politicians to understand what goes on in life with their insulated high income existence, most of them have completlly lost the touch of the common people. IT IS A STUPID RULE . i KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIFE COVER IN OLD SUPER FUNDS STILL RUNNING JUST TO KEEP THE LIFE COVER . I KNOW OF ONE CASEWHERE A HEART PROBLEM WAS BECOMMING A REALLITY AND NOW THE LIFE COVER IN THE OLD POLICY NO LONGER EXISTS! If an adviser had made that suggestion a year or two ago the court would have put him in the ground.
