ASIC FAIL: Sterling First, Victims Last, With Robbie Barwick

Robbie Barwick from the Citizens Party and I discuss the deliberate dis-empowering of ASIC by the Government, under the guise of driving economic growth. In truth, we need a regulator which fearlessly drives market participants to do the right thing. Currently, they have failed, as illustrated by the Sterling First charade.

We are calling for a Senate Inquiry into the role and purpose of ASIC, with the opportunity to lobby Senators during the last sitting week.

That Mortgage – Do You Realise How Much You Can Save?

I caught up with the CEO and Founder of True Savings Pete Steel, to discuss the potential savings which borrowers may be able to access by avoiding what I call the “apathy tax”. In the current situation with finances under pressure, seeking a better mortgage rate is something which is relatively easy to do and the savings are significant. Why not keep the savings yourself, rather than propping up the profitability of the banks?

DFA FAIR DISCLOSURE: DFA was not paid to make this show. We did however provide data from our surveys to confirm the potential savings which are available.
