Super SA advises the government made a commitment to consider, on a case by case basis, proposals submitted to the Treasurer for the payment of restructuring expenses of the Electricity Industry Superannuation Scheme as part of the privatisation of the electricity industry. The government agreed to pay the invoice dated 10/09/02 on behalf of Electricity Industry Superannuation Board. While the restructuring work was carried out by Mercer for the Under Treasurer, Mercer advised that the invoice was nevertheless made out to the board so that the costs were visible to all parties. 2.
