With just days to go until the Federal election, both the major parties have announced new policies designed to attract the votes of, and allegedly help, first home buyers. 

But what of the Coalition's plan to allow people to access up to $50,000 of their Superannuation to help pay for the deposit on their first home; is it a good idea that will genuinely help you get on the housing ladder, or a disaster for your retirement?
