Hug the benchmark.
And the consequences for failing the test are massive, right?
Existential.
There's very, very little incentive to actually take risk to back what you may truly believe in and all the incentive just to be close to the benchmark.
So anyway, James, I know I bore people, but this is distorting the way the capital is allocated.
I feel it quite strongly.
Absolutely.
Just look at your pay this week, James, and 12% of it's going to go into super, right?
About a quarter of that will be in Australian shares and a quarter of that, again, goes into BHP and CBA.
So if you think about it, about $0.06 in the dollar goes into CBA and BHP.
I mean, is that good for the country?
These are two well-run companies, but they're big, efficient, mature businesses.
And you've got this supposedly really long-term timeframe on your super.
I mean, as you know, you're going to be working for the next 50 years before you retire.
So, you know, there's the chance to actually do something with that money that doesn't require liquidity and thinking too much about it for long-term.
It's putting it into BHP and CBA, you know, the best way to do it.
So anyway, that's what it kind of comes down to.
I mean, is it going to change?
I mean, the treasurer, Jim Chalmers, has been talking about it enough and they're doing this review now.
They're taking submissions on it.
