Fairweather friend to SMSF owners WAYNE Swan "isn't just running the risk of slowly throttling super to death, he's risking throwing the whole superannuation system into reverse," says Duncan Fairweather, executive director of the newly formed SMSF Owners' Alliance. And he's not going to wait until budget day in May to make that plain. "By then it's all done and it will be too late," said the man who a year ago thought he had retired from an 11-year role running the Australian Financial Markets Association. Like a lot of retirements these days by fit people, this one was a failure. Fairweather saw that the nearly one million trustees of self-managed super funds in Australia, of whom he and his wife were two, weren't proportionately represented.
