Q: Seven years ago, when I was 55, I took on a serious part-time weekend job on top of my full-time job, working six hours a day on most Saturdays and Sundays. I took the extra work to help pay off my mortgage and build up my superannuation, as I want to retire when I turn 67. Both employers have paid super contributions for me. I would now like to stop the part-time work. When can I access the super from this job? – Bruce
