Hockey’s wife on QSuper Board
Fairfax Media has today reported that the Queensland Liberal/National Party Government has appointed the wife of Shadow Treasurer, Joe Hockey to the board of the superannuation fund covering Queensland public servants - Qsuper.
Hockey’s wife, a former Deutsche Bank executive which the report described as a “self-made millionaire”, will receive a $45,000 fee for filling the trustee director position.
The report said Queensland Treasurer Tim Nicholls had gazetted Ms Babbage’s appointment in mid-June but had not publicly announced the move.
Babbage is a non-executive director of Swiss Re Life and Health Australia Ltd.

A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
