Greens push for women's super inquiry

The Greens want a parliamentary inquiry into inequality in women's superannuation savings, applauding ANZ's move to level the playing field.

ANZ has promised to pay extra superannuation contributions to its female employees, after it released a report showing women earn on average $700,000 less than men during their lifetime.

Greens workplace spokesman Adam Bandt said the party would move for a Senate inquiry into their bill to boost superannuation for women, to investigate the problem of women retiring without enough money.
