This week's Financial Services Online podcast, hosted by Paige Estritori, covers key economic news impacting the financial sector and general public. The State Government's proposed bid to reduce stamp duty amidst a property market boom is expected to offer relief to first-time buyers and middle-income families, despite concerns of potential impacts on public services. Additionally, there's growing demand for stronger anti-fraud measures in finance, resulting in proposed legislation from the Albanese administration aimed at forcing financial firms to compensate fraud victims promptly. While new compliance costs raise concerns, prevailing sentiment emphasizes consumer protection. The podcast wraps up with an expectation of imminent changes in the financial sector dynamics, due to the proposed legislation, and ensures continued updates on these shifting landscapes.
