Relative Return Insider: Political shifts and what’s next for financial services
In this week’s episode of Relative Return Insider, Financial Services Council CEO Blake Briggs joins the show to break down what the federal election and new-look Treasury portfolio mean for the financial services 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, stressing the importance of taking 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 rethink its design.
- Where the Coalition will look for economic policy in the wake of its heavy election loss.
