Rollover well remembers his first conference involving the industry super funds sector – on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast where, while dining quietly in a resort restaurant, he was given to note Garry Weaven’s depth of knowledge on quality white wines.
And perhaps that is why Rollover was not the least bit surprised when he dined at Moo Moo restaurant on the Gold Coast and noted that Weaven’s wine knowledge also extended to quality reds.
Indeed, while Rollover found himself being wined and dined by a certain US fund manager, he looked around the restaurant to espy Aberdeen’s Brett Jollie hosting one or two super fund chief executives while, at another table, he saw Weaven, Media Super’s Gerard Noonan and a bevy of other industry fund luminaries chowing down on Queensland beef while supping a better than average Barossa red.
Rollover noted that the wines served at the Conference of Major Superannuation Funds gala dinner the following evening were not of the same quality being enjoyed at Moo Moo and nor, he might add, were the shared plates of particular benefit to members.
He does not wish to express a view on the young women who hung from the ceiling on Sheridan sheets.
