Mavis in deed and spirit
On the subject of the Conference of Major Superannuation Funds, Rollover notes the respect paid to industry funds stalwart, Mavis Robertson, who passed away just weeks out from the Queensland Conference – the 25th CMSF.
Mavis was a ubiquitous figure at CMSF conferences and it was revealed to delegates that she and the likes of Garry Weaven were amongst the few to have attended every such event since they were established in 1995.
While Rollover has always recognised that while Mavis and Garry have been stalwart supporters of the industry funds movement, their journeys were markedly different and while Mavis certainly didn't spend any time working for Westpac, nor did Garry venture to Mao's Beijing.
Perhaps that explains why, in her eulogy to Mavis, Fiona Reynolds referenced her desire to make it to the 25th CMSF and not leave the limelight entirely to Weaven.
Mavis needn't have worried. While Garry was there in person, the homage paid to Mavis meant she was certainly there in spirit.

The Rollover
Rollover is a jaded hack who joined the staff of Super Review nearly two decades’ ago and never managed to summon the energy to leave. Known throughout the superannuation industry as a power-luncher and gossip, Rollover spends his time humouring fund managers, eavesdropping at conferences, dozing through briefings and looking for his next free meal.

With rainy weather abound in Sydney, Rollover was sat in front of his TV watching the smorgasbord of niche documentaries free-to-air has to offer.
As a history buff, Rollover is well-aware of the importance of the role the vanguard plays in a military force, as the leader at the front of battle.
Now that crypto investing is mainstream, with Rest Super announcing it will put a portion of its funds into it, Rollover wonders whether his grandkids will think he is hip when he shows them his crypto balance in his new digital wallet.
Rollover is almost as fascinated by superannuation fund mergers as the deputy chair of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Helen Rowell.
