Super funds accused of putting ‘distraught’ families through ‘absolute hell’Sky News Investigative Reporter Jonathan Lea discusses the scrutiny levelled against two of the nation’s largest super funds as distraught families are put through “absolute hell”. There are calls for a Senate inquiry into super funds after a third accusation of unethical conduct was levelled against AustralianSuper. The fund stands accused of taking advantage of grieving families for financial gain, which it rejects. Other families also detailed to Sky News Australia their frustrations with CBUS Super. Mr Lea said Facebook pages are “awash with complaints” from grieving family members who have been put through “absolute hell” in order to get the money they are entitled to. “People behind the scenes say that it’s not the super funds deliberately holding out on giving them the money, although the victims feel differently in that regard; it’s a problem with staffing numbers, and they are working feverishly to fix the problem,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

‘Will not be judged by this man’: Paul Murray blasts former PM Malcolm TurnbullSky News host Paul Murray has blasted former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull for criticising Sky News Australia’s coverage of the Voice to Parliament. Mr Turnbull will take part in an online forum hosted by the Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission group, which has claimed Sky News Australia is running a campaign against the Voice. Mr Murray criticised the former prime minister and defended Sky News Australia’s Voice debate channel, along with the network's various reporters and opinion hosts. “I will not allow Malcolm Turnbull to sit in judgement of this channel or this company on this issue,” he said. The Sky News host also criticised Mr Turnbull’s lack of action during his tenure as prime minister in 2018 when he waited four months to visit the Northern Territory after a two-year-old girl was raped. “I will not be judged by a man who took months to go to the Northern Territory after the assault of that little child,” Mr Murray added. “In fact, it was Matt Cunningham and the reporters at the Northern Territory News who had to put it on the front page of the paper that Malcolm Turnbull did not turn up.”

Party for renters: Greens to focus on tenant rights as housing bill expected to pass SenateThe Greens are vowing to make tenants' rights the main sticking point for supporting future government legislation on housing. The party believes it could stare down the threat of an early election by pitching itself as the party for renters. These comments come after a late-night Senate session decided the Housing Australia Future Fund would pass through parliament before Question Time on Wednesday. According to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, this legislation is the “single biggest investment in housing in more than a decade”. In exchange for passing this bill, the Greens backed down on their demands for a national rent freeze.
