Politics and policy: what might the next chapter hold?
Central Room A, Ground Floor
In a year that’s seen super front and centre of budget debate about sustainability, equity and the role
of group insurance within super, we ask Federal Opposition spokesperson Senator Katy Gallagher and
other industry leaders to share their views.
What objective of the system would they advocate? What do they believe should be the key outcomes
of the Productivity Commission’s review of superannuation competitiveness and efficiency? Which
of the Federal Government’s current super and financial services policies will they support, and what
changes do they believe need to be made to the system? How do we best deal with the competing
challenges of an ageing population and budget deficits? Do they support the continued provision
of group insurance within super as good public policy? And most importantly, how do we build
confidence in super amongst the whole Australian community?
Joining the Senator to discuss these important issues will be the leaders of Australia’s main
superannuation industry bodies and session Chair Dr Martin Fahy, ASFA CEO.
