 Are you supporting fracking projects via your Super fund investments?

Ask your Super fund if they invest in Buru, Santos or other fracking operators. For example, Hostplus members are $58.5m investors in Santos  (see: http://www.hostplus.com.au/docs/disclosure/hihd—australian-equities—31-december-2013.pdf?sfvrsn=22).
