The AIOFP takes on the pollies

The AIOFP takes on the pollies

With a federal election on the cards in the next 12 months, both sides of politics are showing more interest in what can be done to balance consumer outcomes with red tape reduction in the advice sector.

In this episode of The ifa Show, AIOFP executive director Peter Johnston joins host Sarah Kendell to discuss the adviser association’s campaign to make MPs sit up and take notice about the impact of regulatory change in the industry.

Peter unpacks the main points of contention for AIOFP members, including the government’s poor implementation of the FASEA standards and rapidly rising compliance costs as a result of the annual opt-in legislation. He also discusses why advisers may want to consider abandoning the traditionally pro-business Coalition at the ballot box in the coming months.
