Earlier this month, superannuation executives jetted to the United States. Our ambassador Kevin Rudd was throwing a week-long sales conference for the investment potential of this country’s $4.1 trillion retirement savings pool.

James Packer even chipped in, bankrolling a documentary to sell the success of the super system to the Americans. He got on board after the producer, Ben Silverman, expressed doubts about its commercial success. Can’t imagine why you’d have that concern about a movie with a pension system as its star.
