Show Notes

This week, the amazing Mary Delahunty, CEO of the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) joins me to unpack the current state of Australia’s superannuation system and its role as a long-term wealth creator. We explore the impact of recent market shifts, the need for equitable taxation, and how infrastructure investments can support economic growth.

Mary also shares insights on industry consolidation, the changing bond and fixed income landscape, and why it’s time to link superannuation, sustainability, and financial equity in a broader national conversation.
