View this important conversation about the factors behind financial security and what might impact the stability of your future. This Fearless discussion explores the hot topics around superannuation, including what retirement looks like for most Australians today and why the medium super balance is more for men than women.
Our expert panel explores price rises in the cost of essential goods such as electricity, gas, housing and petrol and how this is impacting Australian households today. Finally, we'll delve into cryptocurrencies and NFTs - what exactly is behind the hype, and more importantly, should we still be paying attention?
This Fearless Conversation is facilitated by 7NEWS Journalist and Presenter, Mark Soderstrom, and Flinders University will be represented by Dr Michelle Yeong, Senior Lecturer in Accounting in the College of Business, Government and Law. Also joining our panel are business leaders David Robertson, Chief Economist, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Nick Peacock, Director of Milestone Project Management and Tristan Barnes, South Australian State Manager, UniSuper Advice.

2022 Investigator Lecture - Conflict and Crisis: A global health emergency
We are an interconnected and interdependent world. A crisis in one country can quickly impact the health, cultures and economies of societies around the globe.
The war in Ukraine. The conflict in Syria. The COVID-19 pandemic. Each of these crises has resulted in significant localised and immediate emergency situations, which have later spread to cause vast and wide-reaching global impacts upon business, trade, political landscapes, and societal health and wellbeing, just to name a few.
So, what is the fallout of these global emergencies and how well equipped are we to respond to and combat future crises?
Facilitated by Jess Adamson, the 2022 Investigator Lecture featured Reverend Tim Costello - one of Australia’s most respected community leaders and a sought-after voice on social justice issues, leadership and ethics along with a panel of experts including Professor Paul Arbon AM, PhD FACN, FAAN, Professor Leonard Notaras AO and Erick Tlozek.
