In this week's episode, Paige Estritori discusses issues making waves in Australia's superannuation industry, from AustralianSuper's controversy over a $395 million investment in Whitehaven Coal to the Super Member's Council (SMC)'s advocacy for a digital overhaul of death benefit nominations. The SMC has also highlighted the worrying increase in unpaid superannuation to $5.7 billion and are pushing for legislation changes to enforce quicker payments.
