‘Compulsory superannuation is one of the crown jewels of Australia’s public policy. I am committed to working to help strengthen this system and to improving financial regulatory policy in general. Having served the US Securities and Exchange Commission throughout one of the most difficult periods in America’s financial history, I have seen the devastating effects that can occur when, enabled by misguided public policy, the financial services sector puts its interests ahead of consumers. Industry Super Network is uniquely positioned to contribute to the development of policy that is sustainable and maximises the economic wellbeing of Australians.’
