The banking royal commission is far from over with the attention now turned to the $2.6 trillion super industry. This examination could only take place if there were imperfections in the current system.
Can there be improvements in the current super system for lower and middle income workers? How about in the gender gap? What are the long term implications of the outcome of the royal commission and are there any benefits to investing superannuation in infrastructure in Melbourne?
