No, your superannuation is not safe. As an ex Superannuation administrator, pretty much all your super is subject to companies going tits up / share market flux and international markets...
Depending on what Qantas 'Superannuation' is held [i.e what companies it holds shares in] you could be looking at something very bad.
Cash, bank / term deposit is one of the ways that you can guarantee a return. If I remember right, all bank deposits are covered by law? i.e if for some reason a bank goes belly up, you still have access to your money
Of course my views are my own, you should however consult your own financial adviser
