Now streaming: The Collapse podcast

The collapses of the Shield and First Guardian Master Funds are Australia’s worst superannuation disaster. 11,000 hard-working Australians, including many of the people who subscribe to these updates, are left asking why.

What actually happened? Who caused it? And who is part of the solution?

CHOICE and Super Consumers Australia have produced an original investigative podcast, The Collapse, which tells the story of this $1 billion scandal as it’s never been told before. 

Super Consumers Australia has collaborated with CHOICE on this important piece of work to tell the story from the investor perspective and interrogate the failures that led to the collapses.

Through our Take Your Super Back website, we continue to support investors as they try to recover their money. This podcast highlights the stories of three people – Melinda, Wayne and Susy – who’ve lost hundreds of thousands in the disaster. Investor advocate Melinda joins investigative journalist Jarni Blakkarly in interviewing a cast of characters in Australian politics and beyond, trying to understand how this catastrophe could occur, and what needs to be done to stop it happening again.

And, in an extraordinary exchange, Melinda comes face to face with one of the people allegedly directly responsible, microphone in hand.

This is the human face of Australia’s worst superannuation collapse.

All three episodes of The Collapse are out now. 

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
