The f-word
Like Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) chair, Joe Longo, Outsider has difficulty saying the f-word.
Unlike millennials, Outsider can’t say the f-word with gusto, like he is without a care in the world.
“I always have difficulty with that word,” said Longo at a Senate economics legislation committee hearing.
Replying to Longo’s mention of the mere thought of the f-word, Bragg said: “I find it very hard to keep a straight face at the best of times.”
ASIC’s new information sheet - Info 269 – is so delicate with the f-word that it does not even mention it, despite the guide being entirely about it.
The guidance warned that f-words who provide unlicensed advice could receive penalties of up to five years in prison or hefty fines, while paying f-words for promoting investment products could also spell trouble.
Whatever the case, Outsider hates how f-words have ruined two of his favourite things: finance and Tik Tok.
