Topics include the federal government's proposed changes to increase the superannuation guarantee from 9.5% to 10% starting July, aimed at ensuring sustainable superannuation funds for retirees. Additionally, major superannuation funds, including AustralianSuper and SunSuper, have begun diversifying their portfolios into sustainable investments, reflecting the growing trend of ethical investing. The podcast also covers the Australian Taxation Office's efforts against unpaid superannuation by employers, having collected nearly $1.3 billion in unpaid super last year.
