Super sounds of silence
Rollover knows its early days in the longest Federal Election campaign since Joh Bjelke-Petersen was politically relevant, but he is worrying about the relative silence of his old mate, Industry Super Australia chief executive, David Whiteley.
Given the someone controversial superannuation elements contained in the Federal Budget, Rollover imagined that Whiteley would have been on the front foot early discussing the merits or otherwise of the Government and Opposition super policies but, at time of writing, he had sighted nothing from the former Yorkshireman.
Then again, the Government did deliver on the Low Income Super Tax Offset and on targeting high income earners.
Nonetheless Rollover can’t believe there’s nothing more to be said between now and polling day, David.

The Rollover
Rollover is a jaded hack who joined the staff of Super Review nearly two decades’ ago and never managed to summon the energy to leave. Known throughout the superannuation industry as a power-luncher and gossip, Rollover spends his time humouring fund managers, eavesdropping at conferences, dozing through briefings and looking for his next free meal.

With rainy weather abound in Sydney, Rollover was sat in front of his TV watching the smorgasbord of niche documentaries free-to-air has to offer.
As a history buff, Rollover is well-aware of the importance of the role the vanguard plays in a military force, as the leader at the front of battle.
Now that crypto investing is mainstream, with Rest Super announcing it will put a portion of its funds into it, Rollover wonders whether his grandkids will think he is hip when he shows them his crypto balance in his new digital wallet.
Rollover is almost as fascinated by superannuation fund mergers as the deputy chair of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Helen Rowell.
