MATTERS RELATING TO SUPERANNUATION AND
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Public Hearing
15 - 16 June 2000
The Senate Select Committee on Superannuation and Financial
Services will be holding Public Hearings in Melbourne and Brisbane on
matters relating to superannuation and financial services. The
Committee is inquiring into:
- prudential supervision and consumer protection for superannuation,
banking and financial services;
- the opportunities and constraints for Australia to become a centre
for the provision of global financial services; and
- enforcement of the Superannuation Guarantee Charge.
On Thursday 15 June, in Melbourne, witnesses will be
addressing all terms of reference. On Friday 16 June, in Brisbane, witnesses
will primarily be addressing the matters relating to prudential supervision
and consumer protection.
The primary purpose of the hearing in Brisbane is to
conduct an historical evaluation of some case studies to establish what
deficiencies in the law enabled certain practices to occur and what needs
to be done to ensure that such practices do not occur in the future. The
Committee’s interest in certain cases should in no way be seen as
a reflection on current fund practices.
The programs for the Committee’s two days of hearings
are attached.
