<p><p>&quot;There are too many Australians making financial decisions for themselves in an ill-informed way and that's even people who think they know what they're doing. Believe me until you get someone sitting down with you, provoking the right sorts of questions I don't think you're going to come to the right decision,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>Very true, however the FA industry, because of a few, was suspected to be shonky salespeople (not acting in their clients best interests, trailing and hidden commissions, living off ignorance) and therefore not trusted by the great unwashed.</p>
<p>One of Labor's non cock-up's was FoFA reform, which over time would have improved the industry's standing in the community.</p>
<p>Sinodinos has ruined the chance to get rid of the current perceptions. Foolish indeed.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
