Your super may be funding Labor's broken promises

Michael de Percy

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Featured article

Abstract

Industry superannuation funds are great if you are a member of one. Low administration fees, focused on returns for members, and in some industries, still part of an anachronistic, closed-shop union deal. The arrangement ensures workers in a given industry have their employer super guarantee payments made to the industry fund, and often at rates above the legislated 11 per cent of an employee’s ordinary wages.
