Australian Treasury
The Morrison Government has today passed legislation that will reunite Australians with more of their lost superannuation.
The Treasury Laws Amendment (Reuniting More Superannuation) Act 2021 requires that accounts transferred from Eligible Rollover Funds to the ATO will, where possible, be proactively reunited with a member’s superannuation account, or directly with the individual where eligible, within 28 days.
This will remove large numbers of duplicate superannuation accounts from the system. By reuniting these lost accounts with their rightful owners, Australians will reduce duplicate fees and end up with higher balances.
ERFs were intended to act as a temporary measure for the benefit of members who had lost their superannuation accounts. However, in practice, members’ money languished in ERFs for years.

Why Filipino nurses have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic

At the start of the pandemic, Jollene Levid and her mother, Nora, found themselves glued to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s nightly press conferences. In a press conference late last March, Garcetti announced a new milestone: the first health-care worker in Los Angeles County to die of the disease.
“When I heard him say that, I realized that he was talking about Auntie Rosary,” Jollene Levid says, speaking about Rosary Castro-Olega, a 63-year-old nurse who came out of retirement to work in hospitals strained by the pandemic. Castro-Olega’s death helped inspire an online memorial called Kanlungan, which honors the lives of health-care workers of Filipino descent.
