The post-election future of financial services

In this episode of The ifa Show, hosts Keith Ford and Maja Garaca Djurdjevic are joined by Blake Briggs, chief executive of the Financial Services Council, to unpack what the federal election and new-look Treasury portfolio will mean for advisers and the broader industry. Briggs explains that Dr Daniel Mulino enters the financial services minister role with a suite of policies announced under his predecessor but not yet completed. He also stresses the importance of a deliberative approach that would allow Mulino to put his own stamp on the portfolio while continuing the reform process. Listen as they discuss: The importance of stakeholders engaging constructively with the government on financial services reform. Why the $3 million super tax remains a contentious issue and the need to re-think its design. Where the Coalition will look for economic policy in the wake of its heavy election loss.
