You have three minutes, starting NOW!

We try not to jostle each other, this collection of 50 or so writers about to be unleashed on a roomful of patient publishers. But when the accordion doors are pushed back, there’s a palpable surge to the front by the keenest to get in the front of the line for their preferred target.

Victoria Lane rated a book Super: The Policy History of Australia's Retirement Savings Scheme by Emily Millane	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Interesting history but doesn’t really deal with arguments about tapping super for housing or medical, or changes including lift to 12% in recent years. Could have covered more recent post 2020 history.

Faintly condescending throughout. What about Italian women? Plump, chubby, tubby, buxom. Actual quotes.
