This declaration simply designates which superannuation fund would hold and manage those specific contributions. By naming this particular trust, the Minister determined where the government's productivity-related payments would be deposited on behalf of employees.\n\n**In plain terms**\nThink of this as the government saying: *\"When we pay productivity bonus super contributions to our employees, we will put that money into the Australian Government Employees Superannuation Trust.\"*"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-productivity-benefit-act-1988-declaration-under-subsection-4b-1-june-1990","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-productivity-benefit-act-1988-declaration-under-subsection-4b-1-june-1990/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-productivity-benefit-act-1988-declaration-under-subsection-4b-1-june-1990/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-productivity-benefit-act-1988-declaration-under-subsection-4b-1-june-1990/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-productivity-benefit-act-1988-declaration-under-subsection-4b-1-june-1990/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-productivity-benefit-act-1988-declaration-under-subsection-4b-1-june-1990/documents"}}
