Hi There

 

I am excited to bring you the very first episode of That Super Show!

 

In episode one, Neil Benson and I jump right in to chat about Div296 (yep, that $3m super tax), AML, governance, where technology is taking us, and why (despite its quirks) super is still one of the world’s top retirement systems. Hope you enjoy it!

 

All the latest news, views and events below.

 

Regards

Sarah
