In this episode of the ifa podcast, host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is joined by senior journalist James Mitchell to chat about Labor’s latest budget and missed opportunities. Maja and James reflect on some of the biggest budget announcements, including superannuation tinkering, cost-of-living measures, and an unpleasant ASIC levy announcement, while reviewing Labor’s relationship with the advice industry, to date. The duo touch on the Quality of Advice Review (QAR), the government’s delayed response, and more, including how this budget ignored advice at a time when it’s arguably needed the most. Maja and James then ask the question, “Does Labor need to show more respect to advisers?”
