National Party senator John Williams has criticised a loophole in the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act which mean that super fund trustees cannot be penalised for breaching it. The statute stipulates that penalties for non-compliance include jail time and financial damages, but these sanctions do not apply to super fund trustees. Williams has described the situation as "ridiculous" and called for urgent action to address the issue.
