On the subject of the 2016 ASFA Conference, Rollover was pleased to see how many delegates shook off their post-gala dinner hangovers and made their way to the convention hall to hear from the Minister for Regulation and Financial Services, Kelly O’Dwyer.
He also notes that O’Dwyer had made a similar sacrifice in making it to the Gold Coast Convention Centre for a relatively early start notwithstanding her ministerial responsibilities and her maternal instincts.
The minister may not have told delegates everything they wished to hear, but she did reinforce the fact that the Government’s superannuation agenda represents a work in progress and one which is likely to still be progressing around the time of ASFA’s next national conference.
O’Dwyer confirmed to the delegates that the Productivity Commission would be tasked with further work around the efficiency and competitiveness of superannuation plus alternative default models – something which should keep all the super policy wonks busy for the foreseeable future.
