More Civil Societies with Eva Cox: The Public Policy Puzzle

The Superannuation industry has been in the news recently as low performing funds eat up the meager returns of investors through unjustifiable fees. The Government is examining ways to promote the better performing funds to workers but Eva Cox wants to know why our retirement savings are allocated to for-profit companies in the first place.

In fact, why is all public policy predicated on a bland, market-based orthodoxy? From superannuation to public housing, Governments nation wide are unwilling to commit to radical and unorthodox methods to solve issues.

Is this why the public is so disenchanted with our political class? Eva Cox muses on this issue in this installment of More Civil Societies.
