Could super funds help save Australia's housing problem? | That's Business with Alan Kohler

More than $400 billion. Millions of members. And a front-row seat to the forces shaping the Australian economy.
If you think super is dull, or the people who run it are dull, think again.
Paul Schroder runs AustralianSuper, the biggest superannuation fund in the country - and he has plenty to say about where the economy is heading, how geopolitics is reshaping investment, and why Australia’s biggest problems are productivity, inequality, and above all, housing.
In fact, he thinks housing is the biggest issue facing the country - and a major weakness in the way the economy now works. So what could Australian super funds like his do to fix it?
Paul Schroder joins That's Business with Alan Kohler to unpack it all.
