Book excerpt: Superannuation was once a privilege granted only to company head office staff and career public servants. Now in Australia nearly all workers have access to employer-contributed superannuation, and it is a fundamental pillar of Australia's retirement income system. Workers' Capital tells the story of the Australian superannuation revolution led by trade unions in the 1980s. After a series of hard-fought industrial campaigns, an enormous financial industry was created, involving hundreds of thousands of employers and covering millions of fund members. From having one of the worst retirement savings systems in the developed world, in three decades Australia had one of the best. Now the funds held in Australian superannuation accounts exceed the entire market capitalisation of all the companies on the Australian Stock Exchange. Drawing on interviews with the key players and extensive archival research, Workers' Capital is the first systematic history of the unique Australian system of industry superannuation. 'Startling and informative-I thought I knew a lot about the industry superannuation phenomenon, but this one took me by surprise. For a topic so important, a real page-turner.'Gerard Noonan, Chair of Media Super, former editor of Australian Financial Review

Download or read book A Super History written by Christine St. Anne and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A SUPER HISTORY fills a big gap in Australia's financial history. Christine St Anne has done a great job of talking to the pioneers for their inside story of the birth and evolution of the superannuation system. But, more importantly, this tale of the passions and politics behind the establishment of industry super funds will explain to many millions of Australians how they became members of a world-leading, $1.4 trillion+ system."Barrie Dunstan, Australian Financial Review In the mid-Seventies only about 32 per cent of Australian workers had superannuation. Most people left their jobs at the end of their working lives with just their final pay packet. Today all working Australians make compulsory retirement savings and Australia boasts a $1 trillion+ world-class superannuation system. A SUPER HISTORY starts in the 1950s on the waterfront as maritime unions push for a retirement savings system that was then the privilege of a minority of white-collar employees. It takes us through the ACTU's campaign for universal, fully vested superannuation which led to the eventual passage of the superannuation guarantee in 1992. The passion and the politics around the early years of the history make way for the emergence of industry superannuation funds and the growth of the superannuation industry, a sector that was largely credited for protecting Australia from the worst effects of the global financial crisis. In her research for the book, author Christine St Anne conducted numerous interviews with pioneers of Australia's superannuation industry to allow their story to be told in their own words. It really is a "Super History" says Christine and one every Australian should be proud of.

This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provision of social services in Australia has changed dramatically in recent decades, raising a range of important questions about financial and democratic accountability: 'who benefits', 'who suffers' and 'who decides'. This book explores these developments through rich case studies of a diverse set of social policy domains. The case studies demonstrate a range of effects of marketisation, including the impact on the experience of consumer engagement with social service systems, on the distribution of social advantage and disadvantage, and on the democratic steering of social policy.
