Super
Super tells the improbable origins of Australia's multi-trillion-dollar superannuation system, one of the world's largest private pension schemes. It explores super's nineteenth-century beginnings, dissects its triumphs and failures, and exposes the fierce political battles that created mum-and-dad investors.
Compulsory superannuation is one of Australia's boldest economic and social reforms along with Medicare. It is a masterclass in systemic change amid political turbulence, demonstrating how industrial action filled a space where political activity failed. Over thirty years on, has superannuation achieved the promised retirement security for all, or has it widened divides by gender, race and class? Who pays for superannuation, and who gets left behind?
Super draws on interviews with the key players behind this big economic reform - including former prime minister Paul Keating and former ACTU secretary Bill Kelty - and their ambition to transform Australia's system into one of the best in the world.
