Andrew Bragg leads charge on superannuation reform, admitting he was wrong on banking royal commission and FOFA laws

Does it matter if one of the politicians leading the charge to overhaul Australia’s superannuation system was on the wrong side of two of the biggest financial policy arguments in recent years?

By his own admission, Liberal senator Andrew Bragg was wrong to oppose the Gillard government’s Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) laws and wrong to oppose the banking royal commission.

But he wants voters to believe he’s got it right this time.

Senator Bragg says Australia’s superannuation industry needs to be radically overhauled and laws need to change to prevent some super funds from advertising and spending money on political lobbying, among other things.
