The Gender Gap in Superannuation
Date: Monday Jun 11, 2018, 12:00 pm
Presentation by Professor Christine Smith, Griffith University
There is a large gender gap between retirement savings of Australian men and women. According to the Australian Human Rights Commission website, for example the average superannuation payout for women is currently one third of the payout for men. This presentation will explore the reasons behind this gender gap and what superannuation funds and the government may need to do in order that another generation of women do not face the prospect of living their final years in poverty.
This presentation will be followed by a panel session comprised of major superannuation fund representatives and academic experts who will answer questions relating to how this gender gap might be addressed by policy makers and funds themselves.

View...Deregulation and reform of the electricity market in Australia: Lessons for Japan?
Event Type: ESA Event
Date: Tuesday May 15, 2018, 6:00 pm
The Japanese Government began to reform the Japanese electricity market in 2016, some 25 years after Paul Keating kicked off Australia’s energy reform. The Australian process opened up generation, network and retail from being a purely government operated sector. This saw an increase in private investment and the integration of State-based grids.
The speaker Felix Karmel examines the various parts of the Australian Energy sector. It looks at the history of the National Electricity Market and how the reform process has proceeded. From this five lessons from the Australian experience are drawn.
