The Labor party now want to stop people from pulling their super out of industry or retail funds so they can manage it themselves through SMSF’s.

“AustralianSuper, the country’s largest superannuation fund, has been forced to write off more than $1.1 billion in equity and loans tied to an American online education start-up, marking it as its single worst investment in venture capital.

But it has worn a loss of $US757 million on Pluralsight, an Utah-based video training firm once valued at more than $US5 billion.”
