This is an interesting concept. Would the Industry Funds also be willing to accept that they could not be a defualt fund for any industries where their union delegates are board or policy committee members or paid some portion of their income by the respective industry fund?
It would be interesting to know if all employees of every industry super fund in Australia are offered the very fund they work for as the default fund.

You would imagine this data would be readily available to David Whiteley as Chief Executive of ISA and it would be enlightening for this to made available to all.
