Superannuation is the privatisation of the aged pension. Billions of it is creamed off in pointless fees and to create profits for financial services companies. The argument for it was that the government can't afford to pay for all of our retirements. But the government has limitless money, it prints it. Also the argument that pushed the pension age higher. The myth that government has to tax us to get money infects every part of our lives.
