What’s the number one way to retain talent? According to today’s panel of experts – it’s not an easy question.
Fantastic breakfast hosted by @womeninsuper on Day 1 of #CMSF2022.

Addressing the Women in Super Conference …. Remotely…. Just like 2021, 2….

[Melissa Birks @melstar72]

‘Universal super is terrific, but it’s not universally fair’ changes need to be systemic and cultural to address the poorer outcomes for women #paulschroder @AustralianSuper #womeninsuper @womeninsuper

[jok @jokowalczyk1]

Great to talk to @Kyle_Rodda and @NadineBlayney today - a roof over your head now or a retirement income that provides dignity should not be mutually exclusive, we need to talk about how we all ensure they are both possible. @womeninsuper

[Political Alert @political_alert]

Women lose and lose under Government's super plan, says @womeninsuper #ausvotes

[Kara Keys @karak525]

@djrobstep @womeninsuper @georgiedent @the_parenthood There’s lots of voices like @womeninsuper calling for fundamental reform, incl. many in the union movement, business & civil society who are also calling for a raise in the pension & other safety net provisions. My org is bipartisan & have gone hoarse, aft 9yrs of voicing this.

[Women in Super @womeninsuper]

@djrobstep @karak525 @georgiedent @the_parenthood We can defend the system and the undeniable support it provides while advocating for structural change which will make the system more fair and to work for more people. It's not perfect, but it could be with the right policy settings.

[Kara Keys @karak525]

@georgiedent 💯 not only do men have more to draw down on but the long term impact on retirement outcomes, which are already appalling for women, will be WORSE. This Govt is not serious about Women’s economic security. @womeninsuper always up for a chat with you & @the_parenthood

[Georgie Dent @georgiedent]

Another reminder of why applying a gender lens to policy is absolutely critical.

[Centre for Future Work @CntrFutureWork]

The Budget continues government's poor track record treating structural economic problems as “women’s issues”. Senior Economist @ak_pennington joins @womeninsuper 12:30 today to talk #Budget2022 & what it means for women & economy. Rego here >>>

ANU modelling shows the budget’s cost of living package provides more relief to top 20% than bottom 20%. https://t.co/eEtevjkOUi

ANOTHER 👏🏽 slow clap 👏🏽 #IWD2022
Women’s economic security & a dignified retirement shld’nt be a political play toy. Women have already lost $1.8 billion in savings and are watching who’s prepared to fix this! @StephenJonesMP @SenatorHume #MakeSuperFair

[AIST @aistbuzz]

AIST mourns the passing of leading #superannuation industry figure Helen Hewett. CEO Eva Scheerlinck said Helen blazed a trail for women in the industry as one of the founders of the @womeninsuper network and a former chief executive of @CbusSuperFund.

[Terese_NCSMC @terese_smfa]

Historically, the process has been long and convoluted, forcing many women, particularly those from low-income households, to miss out on assets they are legally entitled to. @CEWAus @HESTASuper @womeninsuper @super__rewards @SenatorHume Hume https://t.co/oNJv3TZGK1

[AIST @aistbuzz]

AIST welcomes the removal of the $450 monthly salary threshold for super contributions. 300,000 lower-paid Australians, mostly women, will now get super payments from 1 Jul. A positive step toward achieving better retirement savings for low paid workers

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

BREAKING: The $450 superannuation threshold has just been abolished.

[Women in Super @womeninsuper]

@JohnBB40921542 @larissawaters The @WGEAgency pay gap is calculated on full time hours

[Women in Super @womeninsuper]

A step towards closing the gender super gap today with the $450 threshold removed! From July, 200,000 women will now be paid super who previously were not #auspol
