State MPs stunned by Ted Baillieu's decision to sack committee that runs Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Fund A COURT bid to boost state MPs' superannuation payouts is in limbo following Premier Ted Baillieu's decision to abolish the committee which oversees the management of their superannuation fund.
